Past The Horizon

I looked out upon the horizon

Watching the water shimmer in the light

I sighed to myself

Remembering the fire

All the fires I have set

All the people I have killed

The endless amounts of blood

Upon my worn hands

I bite my lip

I can still see the blood

Drenching my hands

Dripping from my fingertips

I remember the satisfaction

Of the kill

Only if it was brief

I regretted that feeling

I hated myself forever for that reason alone

Feeling the satisfaction

Of killing another human being

Killing without a second thought

I took a swig of my rum

I sighed still thinking about the scene

Blood spilled everywhere

No matter how much I wash it off

I can still see it

Dripping down my hands

And off my fingertips

Hitting the cold cobblestones

Lost in my thoughts

All of a sudden I feel

A sharp pain in my back

And I look down to see a blade 

Run through my ribcage

And that was the last of me

I did not have to kill anyone ever again

In was finally released of my pain
