Dark Remnants
Dark Remnants
Beware of the man
Who holds a knife of steel
Like a thief in the night
Too distant to kill
Cuts and slashes
Hang and torture
Burn your body
without remorse
Leave you lying there
cold and motionless
Screaming and begging
At the mercy of my blade
Dark without mystery
Dead and silent
I wait in the dark
Patiently for prey
To rip open
And dance over blood
Pouring from my victims eyes
In hopes
and fears
death does not dispose of him
Oh how luscious was his face
When he is slain to the ground
I uphold a smile
That stretched so wide
Eyes so huge
And a laugh so rich
In satisfaction
To see him dying
And to cry over the soul
That stole the eyes
once bestowed upon
A precious stone
Oh how I remember
Watching her
Lay there
At the feet
Of a monster
So hateful
So deadly
And gruesome
Tears
Draining my eye
Emotions stained
On my clothes
How did she slip away
My bearer
Has gone
At the blade of a man
I once knew.
You lie there
Fix-faced
Smiling
For better
Or for worse.
Swimming
In the blood
Bound ocean deep
Without forgiveness.
