another
the lights went out at midnight
in the house at the top of the hill
from where he sat behind the tree
he had the urge to kill
~~
knowing he couldn't take it back
if he decided to move ahead
but her love for him had turned a page
and soon she would be dead
~~
in a time before this night
she had sworn that love was true
until he caught her just by chance
in the arms of someone new
~~
his world fell down around him
in the blinking of an eye
he tried to weigh his options
now it was time for her goodbye
~~
now moving oh so quietly
as he creeps across the grass
he had hoped she was the one
now she'll be his first and last
~~
as he pulls the trigger
and drives the knife into his chest ...
the lights come on - a job well done.
now exit off stage left.
