Hitman
I hired him to do it,
I didn’t want the blood on my hands.
He seemed discreet enough,
Or so my desperation told me.
I hired him to do it.
But, I didn’t tell him how.
It seemed more gruesome than I had imagined.
But, who am I to judge?
My hired help was captured,
And in his darkest moment he caved.
That night I was arrested,
The guilt came rushing in.
I committed murder,
With only money in my hand.
I compelled someone else to do my bidding,
Through financial prowess.
I exploited his weakness.
I made him pull the trigger.
I am guilty of murder.
He is the only one to whom I am remorseful.
