RETREAT!

the shadow...
it beckoned, I want you it said...
into the night she traveled...
her heart still in dread....

she froze, she bleed...
Oh! her eyes!they looked dead...
she seemed bleak and unkept...
yet she walked... frozen ... straight ahead...

there all of a sudden...
a glimmer...
Oh! it shimmered...
the shadow seemed thining...consumed and grinning...

She reached... she screamed...
she wailed... and cooed...
the shadow is gone... the glimmer only strong...
dancing a wild jig... as if in taunt...

A decoy i see...
the mischeif... No!!
it is felony....
Oh! the cheat... (growls)... that was very neat...

pained and deserted...
she walked in defeat...
green and grounded...
vanity asleep...

weakened and unwanted...
sanity too weak...
grovelling and grieving...
forced... she retreats...

Into the night...
drifting by...
She retreats back...
the breeze and her sigh...
