A Twist In Fate

Written for a contest using words, twist, dusk, damp, red, blood, love, candle.

A twist in our fate has seperated us
and has cast a shadow over our reality.
Dusk has escaped on the wings of a chilled wind
and darkness invades with a purposeful hand.

Surrounded by strangers, I stand alone.
Muffled whispers, shuffeling feet,
the dying light of my candle in the damp, cold night
all accentuate my fears for me.

But it matters not.

Every twist and turn in my lonely journey
    makes my love much stronger,
    my heart beat faster,
    my purpose much clearer,
    and my red blood burn hotter...

with every step it takes to get back to you.
