The Unknown.

June 4, 2014

The night was calm,

Yet everything seemed deadly and dark.

As I walked in silence,

I felt someone's gaze

I paused to look back

And there he was -

His blood shot eyes-thirsty for revenge.

My heart beat fast,

His presence raised chills in my body.

I could feel his warm breath,

The smell of death made me retrace my steps.

Fear overtook me.

He smiled as he took out something-

Its gleam caught my eye,

It shone like a diamond in the moonlight.

He was supposed to be my knight in shining armour.

But what was he now ?

All of a sudden,

He took my hand and held me close-

And I could feel it pierce.

Everything seemed to still.

My blood froze.

Death beckoned me safe,in its sweet embrace.

But all I could do was cling to my fleeting breath....
