First Kill

I hear the hiss, 

Of the knife, whistling 

Through the air.

My stomach goes numb 

As I feel the slash.

And then fire! 

It burns! Oh, how it burns! 

But it lends something, 

Clarity and anger.

It helps, 

More than I can say, 

To overpower my opponent.

The adrenaline gone, 

I feel the pain.

It is draining.

I see the blood, 

So much of it.

All mine.

My head feels heavy, 

I am sinking.

So much for my first kill.
