One Fluid Motion
Blood on her fingers
Tears in her eyes
The memory lingers
A heart filled with lies
The smile a sham
The laughter a fraud
None give a damn
Except maybe God

The weight on her back
Too heavy to bear
Not an inch of slack
Not even a prayer
The blade in her hand
Pressed up to her wrist
No one understands
But she won't be missed

Her tongue tastes the fear
Skin clammy with sweat
The moment is near
She will have no regrets
She feels no emotion
She's conquered her grief
After one fluid motion
She breathes with relief

Her heart slows its beat
The adrenaline gone
The deed incomplete
She sees the coming of dawn
The fear starts to fade
Faith starts to restore
The sharp metal blade
Flung unused to the floor

First time in her life
Not a thought on her mind
No mention of strife
Leaving it all behind
Though terror preceded
Her logic was flawed
She got what she needed
A little help from God
back
