He stands outside the window. <br />-Nemesis- <br />His hunter’s senses <br />Can detect the two beings inside the room. <br />The metal balcony, cold to the touch, <br />His only reassurance. <br />-Fighting the fear inside.- <br />He is silent, cautious, <br />Risking no detection. <br />He hears her voice within. <br />She speaks quietly; <br />Innocence, <br />Child-like, <br />In her voice. <br />-His heart is stung, <br />Love, <br />Memory.- <br /> <br />“Father, are we the same? ” <br /> <br />“Yes. There is no difference- <br />We are both bound by the hunger.” <br /> <br />Standing on the balcony, <br />Cool October air moves, <br />His anger flares hot. <br />Quickly he suppresses it. <br />-They can sense human anger.- <br />He listens further: <br />They plan his doom, <br />His eternity. <br />-Disbelief.- <br /> <br />She loved him, once: <br />Promised him her all, <br />Her world, <br />Her life. <br />But now, <br />The promise of love has given way <br />To the unholy appetite. <br />Love cannot transcend <br />Death. <br /> <br />Life flashes before his eyes. <br />Not his- <br />Hers. <br />Her smiles, <br />Her laughs, <br />Her joy, <br />Her warmth, <br />Her love. <br /> <br />Tears run down the cheeks <br />Of the Hunter. <br />Memory brings out <br />Rage. <br /> <br />Vengeance burns.<br /><br />James Grengs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/16-resolution/
