BB's poem re-written. Free verse. Please enjoy :)
*Don't own DN
Rain beets down on the pavement,
A woman passes the monster, her numbers dwindling
To be human,
To have a soul,
To feel
Not to be slave to the master
Is that so much to ask?
His eyes flash as he follows, silent as a cat
She walks slowly, wasting her precious time
He sneers at this
They were all the same
Ignorant fools who squandered the life they took for granted
She sealed her fate as she turned a dark ally
A grim smile split his face
In the distance the thunder swallowed her dying scream
The last thing she would ever be remembered by
Her last testament to a cruel world that had chosen her fate for her
Blood ran through the street, diluted by the rain
Creating beautiful patterns of crimson gore,
That would be washed away by the morning
The monster inside,
Clawing its way out,
The need to kill,
The duty that enslaved him,
Ruled his life
What was it like to love some one?
What was it like to be truly happy?
Not satisfied the monster was sated
Happiness
Love
He felt the most he would ever know another
Was their last moments on the earth,
As he watched the light fade from their dying eyes
The way their blood congealed on the pavement
The way their organs spilled
Water slid down his cheeks,
Lighting illuminated his face.
Why did he go on?
What other purpose did he serve other than destruction?
Only one thing kept him alive
Hope
Hope that this utter hell would end
Hope that some how, this would all come to a close
Hope for something to put his faith in,
Other than death
Death was the only sure thing in the world
Hope for a release
Hope that he could one day be free from his prison
A single bloody tear fell from his crimson eyes
To the pavement,
Dissipating as if it never existed
The darkness inside of my soul never ends.
Italics= thought
Hope it wasn't to awful :P just a look inside Beyond Birthday's head from my perspective.
