The Deathly Game (revision of "One True Power")

by abcede   Oct 23, 2007


"Come on Beth, you will be late,"
Rose said just as the clock struck eight.
"All right, All right, I'm on my way,"
The young girl, Beth, quickly did say.

Rose, her friend, morally sound
wanted Beth's life to be found.
For Beth was shaky, so naive
and everything she would believe.

Anyways, they left the home
with friends. The streets they just did roam.
Before Rose knew it, Beth was Gone!
A chill rose up. Her breath was drawn.

Hoping for the best, she prayed
and in the streets all night she stayed.
Until one moment, her heart plain sunk.
She had seen Beth, drugged up and drunk.

She ran to Beth with open arms
and saw right then, she was in harm.
The drinks Beth took and crude drugs too
Had changed around her dear friends views.

Rose then saw her own looming danger.
A knife was held by this dear stranger.
Rose talked to Beth - a calming tone,
"I'm here to help. You're not alone."

Beth only gave an evil stare
acting like she did not care.
"ONE!" Beth said, almost with fun
this morbid game had just begun.

"TWO!" she said, closer she got.
Death was the only thing Beth thought.
And with raised hand, Rose on her knees,
Beth screamed and yelled the number "THREE!"

Crimson blood rolled down Rose's side
Rose looked at Beth then silently cried.
For Beth did not know what she did.
The drunk, drug world is where shed slid.

Rose did not cry for herself alone.
For Beth she cried: "if she'd only known!"
The last thought from Rose in mind
was "I hope realization is what Beth finds!"

And with that thought Rose slid too deep
Into an eternal, calming sleep.
An angel seemed to hear Rose's thought
from the drunk world Beth was brought

Realization hit her fast!
What had she done in minutes past?
She wept for Rose and for her pain
Rose's life - ended in vain.

Beth couldn't live with what she'd done
and then started counting the number "ONE!"
the knife had to be used again.
Her life had to be ended right now... right then.

But suddenly an angel of beauty came
she looked like Rose - oh JUST the same!
The angel said, "Rose, please think twice
to kill yourself... oh WHAT a price!"

"But i murdered trust - YOU! YOU'RE DEAD!
I'd rather i be killed instead!
Ive killed my friend, so sound and true
She was my shield and armor too!

But Beth just take a breath and see
That it is fine. Im here. Its me!
Dont depress yourself, just make a vow
To never let your lifes guard down

Youll need some help, but give it time
Lifes beautiful and mountains youll climb!
Youll see the world but live it bright
Before you come to face the Light

I love you, friend, our trusts NOT broken!
And that was the last thing to be spoken
For The beautiful angel flew right then
Yet Beth knew, now, shed see her again.
