Another chance to kill
the ones to us most dear
a long road we have travelled
we come here every year
an odd kind of penance
paid in full with arrogance
so sure that we would leave unharmed
more desperate than sincere
An awkward situation
marked by peculiarity
pause in mid conviction
for dramatic emphasis
encapsulate the moment
and bookend with a smile
an act of clever subterfuge
youd been planning all the while
now its over
now its through
we cant understand each other
