The Man I Murdered

The Man I Murdered

So there I stood

Facing the man

The very man that had ruined my family

The very man who was now cowering from fear

The very man that had taken away my sister's childhood

The man who took her from teen to mother

The very man I hated

How I hated him with a passion

You may say I don't

But I do

Oh yes, I do

I hate him

He stares into my eyes

His own wide with fear

I smile and walk closer

My fingers never leave the trigger

I walk closer as he cowers away

He finds himself trapped between me and a wall

I raise the gun and aim

"No!", He pleads"Don't do this!"

My reply comes deathly quiet

"Die, you monster, die."

And with that I pull the trigger

He slumps forward holding his chest

Never again shall I feel hate so strong

Never again shall I be afraid of him

That man can never again screw up my life

He shall never return to disrupt our peace

He shall never follow me again

Nor will he make me paranoid

He can no longer taunt me

For he is the man I murdered
