She felt eyes following
As she wandered in the dark
Stars so fine above her
Uneasiness in her heart
Someone was out there
In the dark
Uninvited, but present
In the inky dark
A hand cupped her mouth
It was rough as bark
He’d come ‘round behind her
In a silent arc
He stripped her and raped her
There in the dark
She was dead
Before the morning lark

Image Description:

The sun sits low over the dark horizon sending out long sunbeams over the water. The image has been colour tone adjusted to the sky being a peachy pink.
