She begged for mercy under the knife,
to be taken away for salvation by her desperate cry
Her cry was neglected in the dark forest,
the scarlet furred wolves natural habitat
Crimson liquid escaped from a wound,
slow in motion as it fell to the ground
The leaves crisp crunch swiftly became silent
as they greedily absorbed her cherry fluid
The moon shun bright to its full extent that night
Bats performed their nocturnal music as they flew under the midnight stars,
overlooking the scene that begun
The murderer dressed in ebony and green,
devoured her flesh while she screamed
Her eyes blinked rapidly to distract her agony,
as she lay there suffering morbidly
He grinned wickedly as he met her eyes,
sadistically knowing she was going to die
He left the rest of her there to rot;
or let the wolves do their job on their own accord
Then off he went,
wandering off seeking raw meat to draw blood from
