The Kill

Walking through the streets

Unsuspecting, safe

Feeling a chill in the air

Knowing someone is there

But seeing nothing

Walking faster now

Weary, yet safe still

Feeling a shiver

Looking for me

But seeing no one

I appear suddenly

A scream escapes

A tight embrace

I bow my head, sinking in

Pain, and I drink deep

Red hot blood flows

My veins burn

Each heartbeat

Resounds in my ears

Drowning the screams

And bringing me peace

The heart slows

The drums cease

I finish my feast

Look down at such beauty

And drop you to the ground

I walk on
