A Sacrifice Of Purity...

by swoods   Nov 24, 2005


Reaching into my pocket and pulling out what will bring me hope
Eventually you'll learn to cope.
I'm surrounded by so many people but at the same time I am so alone.
Shots fired, shrill screams, tears streaming, horrific moans.
Blood surrounding my feet in a puddle of what used to be
No way to go back, no reason I would want to, hurrying as I leave.
This lifeless body's image replaying in my head
My heart and soul already dead.
I don't have an excuse for what has just taken place here
And I don't need one because by the time you get here, I'll be gone dear.
If I told you what I have done tonight
You wouldn't understand in spite
Of all the times you told me you felt my pain
But I guess it's all the same.
As time goes by, I don't fill with guilt but I will confess
That what I have just done is nothing less
Than a sacrifice of purity to possible lessen this pain I feel.
Sorry my dear, but you are the next I must kill.
