Soul Collector

admiring her from afar
the one who will be my greatest achievement  
once done I'd be a guard to Lucifer’s throne 
all I have to do is take this witch's soul 
    
slowly I step towards her pretty vessel 
feelings of fear start rolling in 
not inside her, but inside me 
such feelings I thought lost long ago    
    
could this be the fear of the unknown?     
I'm hesitant to take such a beauty     
lusting for her bewitching body     
love at first sight     
    
I take a deep breath     
put my hand on her shoulder     
she turns rapidly, then I catch her eye     
a sudden shock, stunning me to her will     
    
weeks go by, hell becomes impatient     
coming up with excuses for why I couldn't yet
I must find away to muster up the courage
what’s another life?

I take her to a dark alley     
taking advantage of her trust     
kiss her repeatedly to take away her thoughts     
raising up the knife as she closes her eyes   
that's when I hear the most amazing words
  
“I love you”
   
the knife falls from my hand     
I drop to my knees     
she runs away screaming into the night
