Labored breathing

His chest rising and falling

Unlike the body that lies

Below him

The gun

Still smoking

His arms

Still tingling from the aftershock


Rain splatters over the the two bodies

The blood still flowing

His heart bleeding 

Whats left of 

His life

The rain

pounding still

 as he walks away

Thinking 

He’s done

A favor

Oh the sweet taste of revenge


He comes home

To greet his family 

Only to find them 

Gone,

Outside 

He runs 

His face drawn


He runs

Only to find himself faced with the Truth

And bittersweet lies he spun himself

So artificially real

He believed it, himself

He runs for his life

Karma chasing him 

To take it


He slips in a puddle

A puddle of blood

Shining red -- crimson in the yellow streetlight

Death has come for him

A euthanasia

He glances down at the puddle of blood

 

He looks down expecting to see

His reflection

But He only sees the 

Devil 

instead
