Out Of Hell Poem by Mary Champion

He was darker and sleeker than Satan.
He was bigger and bolder as well.
And he rode on the wheels of pretension
As he drove like a bat out of hell.
But the light in his eyes shone so clear,
She was sure there was nothing to fear.
So she welcomed him into her arms
And succumbed to his genuine charms.

But they say even hell has no fury,
Like a woman who can't get her way.
And the woman decided to finish
The game they had started to play.

She was dark and determined and blind to
The pain that she left in her wake.
And he knew that when she put her mind to
Destruction, then something must break.
Still the light in his eyes shone as clear,
But his heart had grown cold with the fear,
And he left without waiting to tell.
Hit the road like a bat out of hell.

And she found even hell has no anguish
Like a woman rejected in love.
She had offered him more than he asked for
And discovered it wasn't enough.

She was lost and afraid in the darkness
And she only had one way to go,
So she travelled alone into madness
To explain all that she'd come to know.
And the light in his eyes seemed to fade
As he saw the mistake he had made.
And she found more than she dared to tell
As she tried to make sense out of hell.
