The Reckoning

Darkness tried to reach me yesterday.
It was very plain and almost polite.
A casual request to connect.
A simple invitation, if you will.
A chance to say hello...remember me?
But I could see the darkness this time.
I recognized your shadow as it approached.
The seemingly innocent conversation that leaves your soul naked and ravished by devilish delight.
Yes, I see you.
But this time... you shall see me, too.
I will not be muted by survival
I will not be turned.
For you awoke the warrior.
My heart stopped that night . . . and drifted for a beat . . . or a thousand tiny drops of rain
Then came the thunder.
ANGER AND RAGE
Then came the lightening.
And, as you can guess - the fire grew...
So no. I will not entertain you.
I have no pity for your regret
Nor condolences for your sins
I am a warrior now and cannot bother with you.
Slowly seep back into your insignificance and know that it was I, who conquered you.
