Dark days
Darker Knights
the lights flash twice -
No thrice,
I open my eyes to hell,
At the devil's mercy I plea
staring at my own reflection,
hot metal against my throat
His dark eyes stood over me,
Blood thirsty.

The little one cries,
He withdrew his metal
and turned to the side.
We ran without a "thank you"
or "goodbye."
