It was a night where clouds piled up heavily,
And the wind yelled for a halt.
Darkness defeated indescribably
And peace got imbibed by the starving wind.
My feet limped unsteadily,
I wished to remain there,
But knew I had to act.
The threat hung over my head
Like a fishing rod :
“Act or Die”.
These sour words hit me like a knife,
Butchered my single specks of bravery.
I knew I had to act.
My feet limped unsteadily,
Towards the murkiness-filled shed.
I wished I could turn back
But my feet knew better.
I snuck in like a ravenous rat,
Slipped through the ordered corner
And with horrendous hands,
Took her life away.
And all the life drained away,
Futile silence remained in tact
And my eyes were forced away,
Wishing it was all a dreadful dream.
But red blood like wine was glued on my hand.
“No turning back now”, I said to myself.
And my heart became short of blood,
And my breath started failing me
As I saw the look on her face,
Weeping stupefied cries,
The gentleness, innocence.
And I felt my hand grasping the damp sword,
Moving shakily up to my heart.
A second ended it all…
