slowly pulling
taking my time
your presence warns me
my anger rises

A feeling of anxiety
A twinge of fear
pain subsides
my eyes tear

You Speak
I cringe
nowhere to run
I turn to you

A breath is taken
your eyes wide with fear
A smile brushes my lips
I plead for your forgiveness

you turn to run
I tried to tell you
I asked you to stop
you refused

Now is the time
My life is over
I move one step closer
Cry my last tear

I pull the knife
show the blade
Justifiable homocide
nothing gained
