| ~Repentant Killer~ � by The Magus I can't erase it from my blurry memory. Killing him was so easy. Oh no, but I think now I understand it... His blood was red, the same as mine... Why did he have to humiliate me? Why couldn't he just let it be? I don't know why. Or why my pride demanded his life. I just couldn't forget my pain. Every morning starts with the echo of the siren. As I wake up from last nights dream... I'm still slipping in through the window in the dark... And he didn't have time to scream... I had no concept of responsibility. Or how empty my actions would be... We don't need things like switchblades in our lives. Or people like him or me. Why did I slip in with a knife? Why did I have to end his life? All I can say is I wanted it to end. I wanted him out of my head. Now I am on the run, and the road never changes. Trying to hide the blood from those crying... Hands in my pockets, eyes on my feet. The children crying that he left behind... That gray morning I walked up the street. This is the way it has been ever since that day. Sure I got away... But I'm still hunted down by the demons in my head. We don't need them in our world. I was at the crime scene. There was more pain than I'd ever seen. I didn't know I would become just like he was to me... To the children he left behind. When the moment came I was gone. They found one of my hairs on his sleeve. Since that day, nothing still matters... There is still no relief. Why didn't I see till it was too late? Why did I seal my fate? Please tell me... Because I can never take it back. I'm still running on the road that never changes... Still running down the road... Still running... I wish I had stopped to see... |
