Deal with the Devil (Picture Prompt #7)

Dark

brooding 

blood streaking down

claiming the throne

throwing down the tormentor

easing your pain.

I was the light to your darkness

you were the corruption to my innocence

we found our way

we found our path

we found our love together.

Injustice.

Woe befall those who hunted us

enraged

good could outweigh the madness

the immorality

that had been yours since you were a boy.

Came in the night

they did.

Tearing me from the warmth of our bed

cowards they were

waiting…..

waiting …..

waiting…..

until you were dead.

Or so they thought. 

Raped

murdered

drawn and quartered

left hanging at the crossroads

an example for all.

Your return.

A pact with the devil

to get vengence

to make them pay.

Rage imbued you with strength.

Terror reigned

calamity

decimation of an entire court.

Sated

not sated…..

Pain whiplashes around

you sit

quiet contemplation

wondering how to get me back.
