The Sin Part II

The Sin Part II

Stranded on the dark road

He screams in agony

His only wish is that it would all end

Releasing him from the pain that holds him

The road is at its end

He knows what he has orchestrated

His screams are heard by the girl

Screams of pain and dreadfulness

As the girl approaches

The cries of a child ring in his ears

He sees the child lying deathly still

A look of morbid sadness on its face

The girl reaches out to him

But he instead picks up the dead child

Crying, he runs away with the child

Knowing it was his fault from the start

He will never forgive himself

Nor will the girl

the sin being abortion, I presume? Very poignant, stirring and creepy, too.

It wouldn't have to be abortion...it could be a severed relationship of any kind; but either way, I agree-
Hard hitting and reflective.

i sense lonliness and abandonment and a bit of fear. fear that if things turn out wrong...the absent "he" will have the wrong on his shoulders. the if you're not here any something happens..

or maybe the fear is trust.

No ths had to do with a past experince....It is true with poetic license. The absent he has been gone for 12 yrs.
