Edge Of Darkness
By Malcholm Dark
"Why
have you forsaken me?
In my eyes, forsaken me?
In my thoughts,
forsaken me?
In my heart, forsaken me?"
I stand
here at the edge of darkness
The light of goodness begins to
fade.
I have fallen from the grace of god
And into this house
of cards I've made.
I stand here in the wake of hatred
Counting moments until his demise.
And there beneath this shroud
of vengeance
My anxiety begins its' rise.
And now I have
you here before me
This drunk driver that killed my wife.
An attorney took you off the hook
And away from any prison
life.
So before I put this ax to use
Dismembering
you because I should.
There is something that you need to know
I would like this known and understood.
Your dying will
be slow and painful
That's right, a little piece at a time.
And in the end when the screaming stops
You will have paid
in full for your crime.

I stand here at the edge of darkness
The
light of vengeance upon my back.
Standing on the edge of forever
With a swing of my ax, I attack!
SWISH
...thwack!!!
.
.
.
"Good-night sweet prince;
And
flights of angels sing thee to your rest."

Brilliant structure to this, as if you can hear the words 'swish....thwack...' Great story also, something that happens way too often m'dear. Write on.

Shakespeare and System of a Down? Hey, if someone's willing to make the fusion, then it must have clicked in one way or another. I'm always drawn to your words, and the stories within, knowing full well, that your characters would make horrible social workers. That's why I like them, vigilante justice, thank you.
