Sharp
I lie in wait
In the dark
… Patient, ever patient…
Moonlight singing
In my veins
… Stay so quiet, not here, not yet…
A knife in hand
A heavy weight
… Be so stealthy silent patient…
The prey approaches
Unaware
… Not yet don't strike yet not yet…
Just one more step
And he is ours
… Spring coiled tightly now strike now…
We launch upon him
With needle sharp
… Jugular hit the veins the neck…
He slides to the ground
Sleep clouding his sight
… Goodnight Dark Dreamer goodnight…
All is ready in moments
Clean plastic wrapped tautly
… Caught under cellophane so helpless so trapped…
He wakes, laughs nervously,
Begs me for sweet mercy
… Raising the knife to strike once again…
He's killed one too many
I can't let him live
… When given an inch, the Beast takes a mile…
The scalpel blade draws
A thin, crimson line
… A drop a single drop of red…
The knife blade shines eagerly
All painted with blood
… The death of an evil the death of a monster…
He lies in pooled red
And struggles no more
… One less killer one more slide…
I look at the slide
The beast is content
… For now…
