Caution was put on hold,

her inner strength surfaced,

made her bold,

her intention was to slam into him

with such force

that she would knock him out cold,

then cut through the ropes that were binding,

as he teeth continued grinding,

he stared,

she glared,

he came closer,

and she almost dared,

but he knew if she tried,

she wouldn’t make it too far,

as she was trying to staunch the bleeding,

that cut would leave an impressive scar,

and her willingness to survive kept him seething,

then it was too late,

her fate,

she escaped,

left a blood trail,

but her plan did not fail.
