Euphoria

Razor sharp and gleaming

He stares at the object held

Almost unseeing

Blindly moving in slow motion

His thoughts being ignored as his lust moves his hands

Death, betrayal, grief and mourning

Meticulously planned

A life he will take

One believed to be not worth living

Scorn, abandonment in his past

Leading up to this life changing moment

Forever the power lies in his grasp

Slowly he works

Every slice bringing him closer to satisfaction

Euphoria bubbling up like blood from the gash

Soft silver light filters through the clouds

A life lies taken

Amidst the blood-soaked ground
