The woman
The Woman
By Marie Ward
The woman that you see
Is a mere image of me
Just a blur in the night
To only disappear behind the tree
The darkness is here
Don’t be scared
It’s only you and your fear
To only be seen
Behind she will appear
The woman that you see
Is a mere image of me
Just a blur in the night
To only disappear behind the tree
As the leaves fall
So does the pain
I’ve come to a crawl
On my hands and knees under chains
The woman you see has been called
The woman that you see
Is a mere image of me
Just a blur in the night
To only disappear behind the tree
The fear is gone
And so is the pain
The woman is the spawn
And has all but gained
The pain and fear
I can now be unchained
