Victoms Peace
Start the fire he will be amongst us any second
The monk shouted to his desciple
As the young man was trying to start the fire
A blow came about his head stunned he fell over
The last thing he saw was a dark hooded being
The axe of the being was headed for the young mans head
During the downfall of the axe that was surely to kill the young man
His life began playing back to him in slow motion
He would see all the ones he loved throughout his time
His father would make appearances as if he was living his days out again
The same mistakes were made, the same choices were made
The bad times, the good times, his heart pounded with exitement
His soul was lifted as he could relive every moment he chose
He would be content to realize that the decisions he made would be wise
None of them he would change, as it shaped him
It shaped his heart, and mind
As he awoke from this reliving of his life
The cold steel blade entered his neck
He felt it pierce his skin open, then his veins
Through the spine and out his back of the neck
He was dead......
As his head rolled on the floor it stopped by the same fireplace
The same fireplace that he gave life to
In turn one life stopped, another started
As the light was shimmering upon his reflection
The dark hooded individual limped over to see his kill
Instead of fear in the young mans eyes and a look of horror
There was a place of peace and a smile across his face
As he knew he had lived his life to the most
Enraged the dark hooded man could not understand why
Disgusted he used the same blade that instilled wisdom and eternal rest on his
victom
And turned it on his wrists.....
Blood spilled out and onto the stony cave
As the killers eyes were shutting down his heart skipped a beat
He saw his victoms smile turn upside down as tears strolled down his cheek
That was the last the murderer saw of his victom who was no longer at peace
