Amethyst Earrings

Passing shadows danced on their faces

With journey so early in morning

With station to station, the train races

As some come and go in this yearning

She walked in, she sat, she pulled out the book

I secretly watched her reflection

She read Chuck Palahniuk with subtle smirk

I saw in her artful perfection

The glimmer of sun had bedazzled my view

I noticed a pair of fine earrings

Next stop was announced and with all the preview

She got up to be bit defensive

I felt the unease and before the doors closed

I slipped out to find what had caused it

She walked out quite fast as her hair in wind flew

I found such occurrence enticing

Just as we were out she had started to run

I was struck by surprise with such change

A man was behind and he hurried beside

That's when I came to face it

He caught her by hair and he pulled roughly her,

She struggled and pushed out the killer,

Yet struggle had lead her to be pushed by that hue

And she fell on the road that had faced her

The screeching of tires, the screams in the street

He finally sat on the pavement

Her body went limp after struggle a bit

And that's what had called for amendment

I'll never forget how she layed on the road

Her purse by her side and so bloody

Her hair on the sides and the wind blowing the strands

With those amethyst earrings that graced me
