Ruthless

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
