A. W. Nutter

Fog from my breath

Suspended in the air

Will I meet my death

  Deep, in the Devils lair

Hands trembling in fear

Grasping the silver cross

Wiping away, foolish tears

Just retribution for my loss

Stepping across the threshold

Down a path with no return

My final chapter being told

Cast into the fire to burn

Sanctuary is quiet and vacant

I stand before Mother Mary

Her eyes passing judgement

This sin I’m willing to carry

Swinging open the office door

Fear, shadows the pastors face

Understanding what was in store

From a child he use to embrace

A false prophet with a black soul

Falls prey to my homemade knife

Piercing his heart makes me whole

A sharpened cross ends his life

Vision ending, as I awaken

Warm blood adorns my fingers

Seeing the knife leaves me shaken

 Cutting, will never bring me closure
