A New Perspective
How the dark night
Her end in sight
The last seconds of life drifted away
She wished she hadn't come this fateful day
When she had terrorized she never thought
The victims of the reconciliation she had sought
Would ever do anything like this
As she readied for death's quiet kiss
She thought of the events that brought her here
How she had stopped to dry a tear
Covered the newest bruise with makeup
And snuck out before he could get up
Before with bottle in hand he could give more so called love
She hoped her father in heaven would treat her better above
The boy she and her friends were especially mean to
Danced around as if there were things in his shoes
She had left the bonfire's safe side to get a drink
He had followed and into the shadows he did slink
He came at her with a strange look in his eyes
She yelled but he muffled her desperate cries
He began to speak in a deadly calm way
She tried to run not listening to what he had to say
He caught a hold of her waist
Then the pain came with a bitter taste
The red warmth of pain and suffering bloomed
At that moment she knew she was doomed
The inevitable as a dark cloud loomed
Her end was near in sight
Oh ,how dark the night

I particularly like the last few lines. They stand out to me the most.
This was very powerful - I'm usually not much for rhyming poems (I can't rhyme to save my life...and I'm bitter about it) but this was actually very well done.
I loved the concept (as deranged as that probably makes me sound). It was, again, very powerful - you did a really nice job with the subject matter. I especially loved the closing line - it was absolutely perfect. You just packed it to the brim with meaning.
Well done - I enjoyed it. :)
