Another quick poem, not my best, my last one was better.
Hope fades, she’s all alone
Darkness suffocates light
She puts on a brave face
And charges into the night.
No noise as she flees.
Utter silence creeps
The night closes in
While the city sleeps.
Lost in a big city
Alone in the chilled air
Navigating her way home
Filled with utter despair
Frightened, cold and alone
In a city not her own
Each step, a risk
Each one, closer to home.
A rustle, a crack
A noise in the night
She’s shaking inside
Each movement with fright
Street lights dim
Her walk turns to run
Tired but she endures
She sees the rising sun
Morning comes round
She nears closer to home
A first and a last
She decides never again shall she roam.
Home at last
Fear evaded
Filled with joy
Glad that she made it
