The "C" word

You follow like a dark cloud just waiting to rain on a happy day.
Your weak, and powerless.
You rob others of strength, you have none of your own.
Hiding in the shadows till you've become a distant memory.
You strike like a garden snake,
meaningless and empty.
Hoping to instill fear in the inflicted and their loved ones.

Your nothing, with out the power you steal.
You wont take ours,
Not again, not this time.

You wound and shock at first,
But you've picked a fighter.
Your tricks have been revealed,
We watched while you tried them on her.
You failed then too.

Your nothing, with out the power you steal.
You wont take ours,
Not again, not this time.

You've planted your evil seeds,
But they will never grow.
Its you, not your intended victim,
this time that will fade away.


for Mom and for Jim.
