Bows and Arrows

As I held the bow

And reached back

To grab an arrow

The arrow of death

When I get set up to shoot

I let go

The arrow goes straight

Straight into the bull's-eye

The arrow now drunk

Drunk with the sense of death

The sense of desperation

A desperation of a killer

The sense of a wrath

A wrath of a jealous mind

Just trying to make things right

Right in the eyes of a stranger

The stranger called death
