Of Stealth and Light

Shot down she laid still, her eyes about to shut,

Hope slowly escaping her existence , just  like the blood,

She felt the wounds deep but no one could see,

Asking for help didn’t make anyone’s heart bleed.

She thought finally darkness caught up to her,

All her dreams slowly began to shatter.

She shut her eyes in pain and prayer,

Knowing deep down it was her heart the betrayer.

Heavy footsteps of another assassin lurked.

She knew them too well  and she wont get lured.

Her wounds ached still but her heart found a new beat,

Almost as if the soul found a piece of itself in the desert heat.

Her mind and heart took control and she breathed another gush of hot air.

Her love came to her as a man disguised, touching her heart's deepest layers.

Chances she took like the wave with the beach.

Losing herself and receding each time, unsure of her return.

With him now the sun is out and slowly she gets to her feet.

She walks up to him and the light finds her where for the last time they stealthily meet.
