1996
His shadow falls across the wall
She sleeps peacefully on the bed
Seemingly innocent yet seductive in her gown of silk
He moves closer to her
Silently....stealthily
Dreams cause her to stir...she moans in her sleep
Will she waken?
He stops his approach
Waiting...watching
Her breathing is normal...she is sleeping still
He continues to make his way across the room
Closer he comes to the bed
His features invisible in the darkness
The moon shines tiny slivers through the curtains
His dark hair glimmering in its light
He stands looking down at her, touched again by her beauty
His eyes caress her
watching her chest rise and fall with every breath
How could one so evil at heart appear so innocent at rest?
Slowly he pulls the knife from its sheath
He gazes down on the angelic face with hatred in his eyes
The images flash through his mind; fueling the anger in his heart
Two lovers in the moonlight sharing passions embrace
Promised to him yet giving herself so freely to another
Moonlight shines on the blade covered crimson from her lovers blood
Now her blood will mix with his...they will die together this night
Slowly he raises the dagger over his head
clutching tightly with both hands
Tears fill his eyes for the loss of what might have been
but now can never be
With a howl of rage and pain he brings the knife down hard and fast
Plunging it deep into her chest
Beautiful eyes of crystal blue flash open in surprise
as the blade pierces her heart
As her life slips away she is unable to cry out
Clutching at him she sees the pain she has caused him
weakly, softly, the words "I'm sorry" escape her lips
Only THEN does he realize what horrid act he has performed this night
Taking her gently into his arms
he holds her close to him as she draws her last breath
He weeps openly now in regret
For he has lost the woman he loved
The only woman he will EVER love
