The Walk Poem by Lily Law

The Walk

Rating: 5.0


You walk down the road,
Behind your home,
At the misty dawn,
Everyday,
Alone,
Trying to breath,
Trying to wake up from dreams.

As you walk by,
Do you hear it?
The sound of footsteps thundering behind you,
The sound of man's whistle,
Echoing all around you.

As you seek for it,
Do you sense it?
A hooded man,
Standing beneath the lamp-post,
Waiting patiently,
For you.

You try to ignore,
Yet you can't resist him,
You try to hide,
Yet it's useless,
For he,
Who know you and your soul,
From the very beginning of this road.

There is no way to run,
Nor regret,
For you is his precious puppet,
And he is the mighty master.

You will eventually meet him,
Face to face,
At the end of the road,
In the golden dusk,
When it's all too late,
Not for me,
But for you.

Theme is excellant.But it could be shorten further. Read repeatedly and think of editing. Do not make poems narrative. Express 2000 words in 100 words.
