The Hunter

That angst you feel

An emptiness so profound

When you hurt

And drop to your knees

Laying next to the tears on the floor

A bite so calculated

It strikes you down 

Know one in sight

Not a soul to save you

A white flag waived in vain

No surrender from this fight

The swiftest hunter has struck again

This time with no warning

She digs in and spreads

Like a disease

Ever so swiftly

It spreads through you

And seizes control

Your heart is the victim

Once again unsuspecting

Of the bitter lesson 

That love bleeds you out

And leaves you hollow

...she digs in and spreads like a disease ever so swiftly. ...

Interesting choice words.

I like this especially the last 5 lines. It's like it tied it all together at the end. Good poem.
