Love Poem by Janis Land Raymer

It lies in wait...
like a tiger stalking her prey.
Patiently waiting,
crouching, prowling-
looking for any sign of weakness.
Then, when you're at your most vulnerable place,
it attacks:
sinking its claws deep into your heart,
ripping and tearing,
feeding on your blood...
in a wild, uncontrollable frenzy...
you find yourself torn and mutilated.
The pain is intense,
you're weakened from the loss of blood.
as you suffer and die,
as your life's blood drains from your body,
you feel fear: real fear.
While dying,
in the greatest pain you've ever known,
you scream his name...
and die.
