Replacement; Light
She lay there
Dead
My eyes weary from battle
Distant screams continued
I stagger over to her body
Her skin was cold, lifeless
As I touched her smooth forehead
Darkness continued to protrude from my hands
Slow, gentle.
I cried dark tears that fell around and upon her
She slowly started to wither away.
Indifferent, I rest on one knee
She was gone.
In her leave, a sword, a katana.
Forged by her soul, from her soul
It shined light in this hell forsaken place
My dark, trembling hands pick it up
It fits perfectly in my grip......
In a distance behind me
I hear footsteps
They close in
I pretend I cannot hear
I calmly focus on my new weapon
They are within striking distance now
I turn quickly
No hesitation
I slash ferociously
Blood lust overcomes me
A thud to the sands
I move quickly to the next one
With no questions asked
Just common souls looking for redemption
But I do not care
This knowledge does not stop me
One...Two...Three
They are all gone
But I long for more
I run, I search
But I find none
I see in a distance
A light soaring fast
And it shines so bright
With no set back,
Advance.
She lands before me
Glaring at me
She is an angel
Her appearance so soft
I cannot look past that beautiful blond hair
Her eyes focus
They pierce my soul
She must know who I am
She wants to swallow me whole
