Guillotine

Sadia Rauf June 18, 2007

Tags: life , death

The metallic slice

The smooth cut

The last sigh.



The bloody stream

The sharp end

The lifeless gleam.



The peace lies in pieces,

The life breathes lifelessness,

And finally, I am alive.



Drenched in your death

Drinking
your blood

Despising your kind

And believing in the essence of Time.



Lay the knife on the table

Dip my knees in your life

Smear my fingers in your end

Smudge my face with the only thing of you I finally wanted.



Wrap you in my wrath

Throw in some black

Sprinkle the death dust

And leave you to bloody rust.



Gather up the cloak

Fasten the sword

Look back to make sure

And walk away with a step never so secure.



I am done

As you are, eternally, undone.
