Back Country Roads

A drive down a back country road
Leads to a story never told
Where a bitter seed has been sowed
Another chapter will unfold
It was a lazy summer day
A trip for only ‘Dad & me’
He forces her along the way
But he isn’t happy, you see.
A glorious day turns suddenly dark
As he leads her further down the trail
Her reality becomes so stark
As once again, her trust will fail
The creature waits and stalks its prey
As his impatience wanes, his anger swells
The demon will have his way
She looks to his eyes where evil dwells
The beast has found a sudden rebirth
His assault on her, a violent rage
She collapses, crumbling to the earth
Her beaten body defies her age.
She welcomes the darkness, the quiet peace
As an eagle soaring high above her screams
For that moment, all the pain & betrayal will cease
But only in her unconscious dreams.
