once again their came with their pitch forks and knives
flaming torches illuminating the darkness
casting long shadows on the ground.
hounding at the door
yelling at the top of their voices.
i had no resistance no defence
simply stood aside and let them barge through the door
raging like the angry tide
a sea of fury bent on destroying everything in sight
and everything they took
till there was nothing left.
just shambles and ramnants strewn on the ground
trampled over stomped on
and once again i have left alone out in the cold.
longing for the warmth and comfort of the flames
crackling merrily in the fireplace
licking the wood as it burns slowly down
dancing hues of orange and yellow
light up my eyes
and i turn to smile...at you.
but all thats left now is just dust and ashes
and i know that you will never return.
