Raven's point of view on this one. For those of you who read Redemption...this is something of a sequel in poetic format. Something brought the story to mind, triggering this...hope you enjoy, maybe it'll give you some closure for that story.


I think I can say my work is done
I left my mark on the world
I fought and won
The dark shroud was unfurled
I have seen the sun
My finger never curled
Around the cowardly gun

I did my best

I passed the test

Now I can rest

Take the darkness
Take the pain
Wash me til im clean again
Hide the weakness
Hide the stain
With you I shall remain
But this time...
I'm not alone

So strange, I thought this day would never come
Hours spent so cold
I smiled but my heart was always numb
A silent story told

Now all I want to know

Is the one thing you can show

I'm waiting for you

Take the darkness
Take the pain
Wash me til I'm clean again
Hide the weakness
Hide the stain
With you I shall remain
But this time...
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

Never, never alone


Hmm...was that happy? To me, it was. Now, what exactly happened in the end of the story is up to your interpretation...Thank you to everyone who's read this so far. I'm glad to hear some positive feedback on my poems. -Dusty
