Desire Washed Away By Misery Poem by austin marshall

Me and you enter through the malls door,
Glamour and beauty lay about,
Holding my hand you walk by my side.
Buying you splendid gifts of rings and necklaces.
sparkling in the light, diamonds lay upon them.
We laugh and wave to each passing soul.
A flash and this incredible scene,
turns to darkness, blood pouring on the ground.
Horror crosses your beautiful face.
Eyes in shock as they become affixed on the souls lying in pools of translucent blood,
A man in a hooded mask stand there, Bloodu knife in the palm of his red hand,
Run towards him and stab him vigoursly with the knife shiny with dripping DNA.
You scream, i turn you are nowhere to be found.
Running with all my everlasting might, heart racing,
My mind exploding with anger and a sense of confusion,
this perfect day now turned into a brutal reality.
Thoughts racing within my head, where could you be.
My love, my reason for life, gone in a flash from my eyes,
A thunderous bang i hear, I turn adbruptly and come to a halt.
I turn around and see you falling to the ground.
knees slumped and blood pouring out of your chest,
I run towards the hooded man with the gun,
he is laughing malicously, head cocked back,
I grab his hand with the gun resting in his palm.
Pull the gun closer to my head, finger on his, resting on the trigger,
I close my eyes and pull the trigger, blood trickles down my head.
i fall to the ground, and the last thing i hear,
is your voice whispering my name.
That is when i wake up, and realize what has happened,
All a dream and a hideous fantasy,
But within my mind it survives as reality.
