Murder of a Murder

February 21, 2013
By Anonymous

I am lying on the floor waiting
Staring at the knife across the way
The blood won’t stop flowing
Like water it won’t stay

That man left me to perish in my house
Can I endure as everything turns red
He wore clothes as old as Rome
I wonder what it was he said

The pain felt inside will it ever end
No matter how many people I kill
Will my heart ever unbend
How strong is life’s will

My parents taught me not to run
I close my eyes to the rising sun

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
