Captive
Captive Eyes adjusted to the darknessblack as black could beThe key turning in the lockDrowned the desperate pleaUnknowing and afraidOf what would come nextTears began to flowAlthough having no effect A tray pushed roughlyunder the closet doorScrambling to retrieve itSlipping on the floorTired and hungryDevouring the paltry feastMaybe giving strengthTo fight off the angry beast A captive,Continue reading “Captive”
