My last day

My Last Day

The morning light it had lifted my soul
In these early hours, as I left my home.
I was unaware he was following me
He had patience he waited until I was alone.

I had seen a man from my windows above
I could see someone under the tree
I should then have followed my gut
But, as it turned out, he ended up gutting me

I had received the calls and then letters had come.
When I reported, they said "it was just harmless fun".
Didn't feel like that, when the knife sliced open my throat.
They’d said it was “probably nothing. It was all gone and done”.

I had traveled my route time and again/
Never before felt unease or sensed danger about
But, since those calls that had come to me
I was nervous I felt my safety was in doubt.

He pounced from behind he let his blade do the work
My body had sagged, I fell to my knees.
I couldn’t muster the strength to put up a fight
My eyes carried the vision only the cold eyes of death sees

The darkness, it approaches now,
I feel my life force ebbing away.
The cold dank floor does not comfort me
I never knew this would be my last day.
