Consequences

"I don't love you anymore" she said
And stormed out the door,
The loud crash of the wood reverberated around
the dimly lit room, Shattering the silence,
contesting the rhythmic beating of a broken heart
He stood still as a stone, too overwhelmed to move,
an unexpected reply - a stab with a sharp knife;
His heart sank but his mind kept working -
"I have to make her mine" he murmured
And silence reigned once more - a ghostly veil
consumed him into its deepest interiors.

The crowd had gathered around the street
Where the body lay in a pool of blood -
Her eyes were wide open, a look of horror in them
Death was circling around her like a hungry vulture
A distant sound of an ambulance fainted into the chatter,
the blurred voices of a hundred alive souls,
Unknown faces staring down with remorse,
staring down at the innocent face -
She did not deserve to meet such a fate
A shadow came forward and stood directly beside her
A familiar face - she blinked her eyes.
He has come to rescue her, to take her in his arms,
to love her and hold onto her forever....
The man smiled crookedly - a gesture enough
to turn her burn her dreams into dust
"Why?" - a single word escaped her dying voice
"I had to make you mine" he smiled,
and vanished in the darkness again.
