Character Poems: The Dark Signers
5. Greiger
He lived for revenge.
He failed.
Perhaps it had been foolish
all along. He'd thought he'd searched
in the right place, but he'd missed
what was right before his eyes
with those lenses
And now he saw them, and missed
even more: blood-coated lenses
that hid the consequences, the traps.
Now he's in this van being driven off
to jail and whatever will he accomplish
there. How will he ever find them?
Then again, it doesn't really matter
because they're dead.
He can only meet them again
if he's dead, but then he'll have
failed.
It doesn't really matter
because he's already failed
But then there's a man who's stopped
the van and who offers him a chance,
a chance to correct this failure,
to meet his family on better terms,
to get his revenge once more.
Perhaps it had been foolish
all along. But he can only live
to the tune of his heart, and it
still bled and cried.
