**************

Alone at night,
Long after the sun has gone to bed,
I remember.

I remember the past
The Endless Waltz of my life.
Training, killing and destroying
Same steps repeated over and over.
I am as efficient as a machine,
A fox, sly and cunning.

I remember the bloody battles,
The lives lost at my hands
The families torn apart by my callousness.

As I watch the trees,
Their leaves dancing in the wind
I remember.

I remember my friends
The only people who cared for me.
They offered a retreat
An escape from my mess of a life.
Like a fool, I turned them away,
They were unwanted distractions
In my grand scheme of things

Now as I sit here,
Listening to the waves
Playing on the shore,
I remember all the wrong
I have done the world.
I regret my past actions
I wish I could change it all
But wishing cannot make it so

I am tortured by the memories,
The pain and anguish eat at my soul.
To the world I say 'sorry'
For the pain, I have caused.
You may never know
The torment I feel.

I hold this object,
The same that took so many lives.
I realize it is the only way
To soothe my tortured soul
I pull the trigger.
I have finally achieved the peace
I strived so long to find
