Heart pounding
ratcheting
empty hollow inside.
Peering through
windows broken
jagged
glass strewn
inside and out
ready made weapons to hand.
Prowling
not trying to hide my steps
I want you to know
I am coming
I am hunting
and until I find you
never shall I rest.
I remember perverted voice
cooing
caressing
oily insinuation.
My lip curls with disdain
only a monster
would abuse a lone child
nay
lone children
and think
your wealth
would keep judgement at bay.
Nothing will keep me from finding you.
Nothing will stay me;
for I come…..
Vengeance
sleek in the night
an unholy nightmare
forever keeping you awake.
