My target was alone
Oblivious to his death
I sat on the rooftop
Watching his every move
I knew little of his life
He had a wife and children
Expecting him to return
They were to be sadly surprised
I chose my moment to strike
Creeping across the roof in silence
Timing it perfectly, I leapt
Sinking my blade into his bare, open neck
He died before he even realized it
His blood trickling down the street
It gave me pleasure to stare at his cold corpse
And the knowledge that he would never see day again
I dismembered the corpse
I ground it into dust
I slit open his heart
And let the blood trickle down his face
His death caused riots
Now there was a killer loose
Who knows who could be next
It could be you

This is my first addition to his website. Don't expect any happy poems from me. This is about as good as it gets. I basically saw the topic and thought to myself "I could probably do this." And this is the result, so I hope you like it.
