Looking

I watched you through my open window
In the street below
You stood there in the cold harsh yellow
Of the streetlight’s glow1

The Man looked like he wanted blood
The way he lurked around
He stalked the shadows like a cat
And barely made a sound2

He walked up and you kissed him there
With passion, but with hate
A kiss that made the streetlights flare
A kiss that sealed your fate3

He backed away and said something
I couldn’t understand
You argued back, and from my view
I saw the world expand4

I saw the heavens and the hells
Sin, purity and death
And when you stopped it all returned
I had to catch my breath5

And in a flash the world came back
My room, the streets, the light
You two were the there, held in embrace
He grinned in dead delight6

His knife was hidden in his coat
And quickly, I must note
He had the dark blade in his hand
Held under your throat7

And here he whispered in your ear
But you did not reply
And in one go he slit your throat
And spat on you goodbye8

I see this in my dreams always
Your skin a faded blue
And I feel pain and hear the wails
The angels cry for you9
