Murder

It was dark. So dark you could barely see, And I was there, under the sky, and I was so free. It was a moonless night, And the wind blew with fierce might. The flickering diamonds illuminated the sky, I wondered how far they are, and so high. With my heart throbbing against my chest I see, See the chaos of the world simmer down and you standing in front of me. 'Why have you come?' I ask but you don't reply, You took everything away from me and I don't understand why. Does robbing someone of their peace give you happiness? It isn't a noble work you know? Just a touch of nastiness. Under the star studded night sky,I stood facing you off, The wind makes me shiver and you sneer and scoff. I take my time to observe your silhouette, That's when I notice the knife. You've come to kill me and you won't even regret. You start walking, making your way towards me, I ponder over my dilemma; should I give in or flee? I turn to run away and you catch me in your arms, For a fleeting moment I recall the days I gave into your charms. How you used to hold my hand, how you used to seize my lips, Now you touch to wound me. Oh! Your failed hands, your bloody finger tips. You press me close and put the metal through my heart, Like a shadow you came and like a shadow will I depart? You cut me open and took my heart and held it in your hand, Now I know what my worth was. Now I know where I stand. You took my heart, you left me to bleed, You left me to die, insipid. And as you part without a second glance, My strength shatters and I crack out of my miserable trance. Resting my head on the pillow full of gore, My unbent faith intact no more. I stare in lieu at the flickering lights in the sky, Comprehending about the iniquity that may never die.
