Today's Prompt is FINISH THIS LINE

Today's line is THE CLANGING OF METAL COULD BE HEARD
Please use this as the first line in your write. You may use it in prose or poetry, any form you wish. OURS IS...

The clanging of metal could be heard
as a man slipped the keys into the door
finishing her prayer, she rose up off her knees
knowing this day will be like none before

Twenty-five years of unrighteous confinement
Today it all comes to a head
no more will she be alone in her hell
no more to lay down on this bed

Though it is true the fault was not hers
she knew it was a matter of time
all the appeals amounted to nothing
she still had to pay for the crime


The lock now open, she walks on through
finally free from the trap of his love
as she passes him by, he hangs his head,
knowing what broken hearts consist of


YOUR TURN
ENJOY
