The Promise of a Future

My dreams were severed.
My hopes, filleted.
The promise of a future
with the man I loved,
and a college education,
is gone.

I was fighting. Free.
And then, captured.
The promise of a future
was ripped from me,
and my freedom was destroyed.
And now,

With that one bad bite,
I was murdered.
The promise of a future
was stollen from me.
I became a zombie chick.
Undead.
