revenge

by wisegirlgeek

First it is his eye, then his revenge, and then his humanity. Ethan Nakamura will never forgive his mother.

He wants revenge

REVENGE

Because it is his birthright

And she gives it

Because she is also his

BIRTHRIGHT

So he joins his lord

His savior

The Crooked One

CROOKED

And he waits

Waits and waits and waits

For the time

But it does not come

And then he is in too deep

DEEP

And he tells her this

And she says it will happen

So he must wait

WAIT

But it is not one

Of his few virtues

So his revenge is now on her

For leading her own kin

Through the path of the broken

BROKEN

She has taken

His desire

As her own

Revenge is not equal

When released

EQUAL

He bides time

Losing all as years pass by

TICK, TICK

Soon she has collected her fee

In the form

Of more than payment

In the form

Of the human inside

HUMAN

So he has been led astray

Standing with the wrong family

Not believers, destroyers

DESTROYERS

Maybe it is worth it

In the end

Falling from grace

GRACE

Into peace

He has gotten what he asked

PEACE

Revenge is his

REVENGE

These poems seem to be doing pretty good, so I keep putting more out...
