Ruthless
He took the path at the end of the bridge
The fog was thick like curtains in the air
Down at the waters edge he waited for her
Not sure why she wanted to meet there
He shivered in the nights cold air and mist
And pulled his coat a little tighter closed
Thinking this would not bode well for her
When all this mess was finally exposed
He thought that he heard a slight sound
So he softly called out her name
When no answer came he waited still
Pensively he wondered, what’s her game
He never finished those final thoughts
Because of the two caps to his head
He quietly fell, caught by bloody hands
And now rests on the sandy river bed
She stood on the bridge awaiting a sign
Gazing at the moonlit river passing by
Expelling smoke she exhaled in relief
And thought, it’s a shame he has to die
Then she saw it down river just as planned
Two flashes a pause then two more beside
So now she knew it was finally all done
And walked away with swag in her stride
