Footsteps tread.
Heartbeats speed.
Here he rides
On his great black steed
Into the forest,
Under black canopy,
Looking for light,
Looking for me.
I ran so far
Into the breech.
Hoping to escape
From fierce hands reach.
He calls out to me.
I fall at his voice.
He taunts with his words.
Tells me to make a choice.
Easy or hard,
He'll find me he says.
I hide my soul
And I hide my head.
Footsteps tread
Closer to me.
Soon he'll find me,
Soon he'll see.
I'm crying with dread,
Hidden by darkness.
Soaked in blood red,
He's hurtful and heartless.
My breathing is heavy.
My broken heart fears.
I can't feel any
But these cold harsh tears.
Too scared to talk.
Too hurt to think.
To me he walks,
His heels with spurs clink.
Closer and closer,
He comes in the night.
I'll have to run
Or I'll have to fight.
I know that I can't.
I'm always so weak.
He's going to find me.
Tears fall on my cheek.
He's two feet away,
I feel his cold breath.
He's starting to sway
To my naked death.
I run faster than me,
But he's faster still.
He catches my arm
And wounds at his will.
A hand o'er my mouth.
An arm round my waist.
I wish I would die,
But he moves with haste.
I'm hung on his horse,
He rides with great speed.
He takes me away,
On his great black steed.
My soul is vanished.
My heart is lame.
I'm beyond all hope,
In his cruel game.

that was amazing! i loved it! there was so much emotion and it was very painful and sad. i loved your choice of words and rhyming choice. you seem to be a natural when it comes to writting poetry!

this poem is fantastic. yes it is long, but it was worth reading, i love the imagery and the conflict betweent you and him. it was like a short story told in peom form. you have amazing talent, it seems to be squeezing itself out of the lines on the page, and soaking up everything, taking everything near it into its little grasp. very good write i look forward to hearing more from you
