WITNESS

I once saw a killer stalking his prey 
I watched from a distance not knowing what to say
A flash of light that catches the blade 
Arm poised ready  braced  for attack 
Hes going to stab her in the back
The knife goes in with so much force
Again he stabs her without remorse
Blood now flows across the floor 
Her eyes are solemn dull with light
As this poor woman begs for her life 
The man looks back with eyes of coal 
Staring right into the woman's soul 
She raises her hand pleading for him to stop
The man looks back as her body flops
She lies there her breath short and shallow 
Her skin now deprived of all its blossom
One more breath now its all over 
Her body bloody lays in the gutter
He turns around to see me run 
knowing I know what hes done 
I am the witness that watched from yonder
Now i will always be looking over my shoulder
As the killer knows his life could soon be over.
