One day, he messaged her
Out of the blue.
Her heart skipped a beat,
Her face turned red with love.
He turned her life bright
As yellow as the sun.
She got her hopes up
This was a positive sign
They decided to dance
Till the next day arrived.
She put on a new dress
Studded with purple emeralds,
That made her feel like a queen.
Puffed her face,
The pinkish hue lit up her room
Strapping on her new heels,
She went out to dance
Under the moon.
The blackness of the night couldn’t deter her
From meeting her love
Excited and elated
She waited till he arrived
Upon seeing him,
Her face turned white
For in her sight,
There was an evil
Waiting to capture,
Devour her soul
She wailed and shrieked
Tried to run away
The straps of her heels
Broke away
As she squirmed on the ground
Fear grappled her
She heard distant steps
She thought this was the end.
She looked up at the sky
The silvery moon said:
Stand up and fight!
This was not the end.
She reached out and grabbed the shards
Crystal clear they were
Soon they turned red.
A gold light emerged from the sky
Wanting her to take to another place
It was not my fault, she said
Of course, it was, said the light.
It was you who went out at night.
Fighting a lost battle
The universe seemed so unfair
She just wanted to wake up
From this nightmare.
