Death Personified in Free Verse, 15 lines - SLAM Finale Round 3
Gone

I would never have guessed it was you
so tall and handsome you were
with your impeccable manners and boyish smile
we trusted you with her
our beautiful, gifted, precious girl
and you took her hand
and lured her away
into the cold, dank blackness of your world
and when at last she called to us
I’m here! please save me!
you muffled her cries
and we could only hear their echo
it was too late
you had had your way with her

she was gone
