Click hereWe shared silent tears,
about futility and fate
How long it would take
before we could be one
together forever
away from the fear
he inspired in us.
But escape was a ruse
we used to fool ourselves.
No matter the miles
between he and us
his darkness overshadowed
the light we ran towards.
We could not move forward
fast enough,far enough
to shake him from our tracks
He had a nose for weakness
divided us through threats
of harm, until back to his arms
she went, for my defense I think.
Now I look over my shoulder
wondering if the trail grows colder
or if he still smolders in hatred
at the the love she and I once had.

perhaps!...hey great write, twisting emotions may be wringing out the poetic rag ...<grin>
with your images of a very frightening situation. The fear weaved through this piece seeps under your skin right to the marrow. All to vividly described verse makes it truly what the title implies - "haunting". God, I hope this is a fictional write.

I feel so much pain here! Please tell me she did not go back to that life.
