“You stand before me. Now we stare eye to eye. Before another second clicks away, one of us will die” I sang softly walking slowly down the moonlit alleyway, my senses alert.
“The young man lies alone but fastened to the ground. The sound of fleeing feet and the crying eye, will be his last sound” I said nothing more then a whisper, glancing behind me at the flickering street light.
“You reach for your metal as I reach for mine. The sound of bullets flying through the air is followed by a cry. And their crying” I continued on, hearing my footsteps echo all around me but it didn’t bring comfort.
“What will we do, what will we say when it’s the end of this game that we play. Will we crumble into dust, my friend? Or will we start this game over again” the words danced around the open space around me.
“But what do we gain from all of this? Now, was it worth a life? No! We throw all our hopes away and set out dreams aside” I continued, placing one foot in front of the other, very slowly.
“Now we’re crying” I said nothing more then a whisper, my eyes flashing toward the roof top above me, a shadow begin thrown onto the building from the moonlight.
