Assasin

Slinking slowly, silence reigns
Ones who steal the souls
Creeping forwards, edging near
Closer to their goals

The payment of blood money
The instigator of the few
Taking lives of many
Next time will it be you?

Unseen face, unheard voice
Just a shiver to the skin
Premonitions of pending doom
Start to stir within

Searching through the shadows
For proof that someone’s near
A gulp of air, a shaking hand
The bitter taste of fear

A flash of silver from behind
As gaze widens in surprise
Unspoken words from parted lips
The end shown in the eyes

Another night's work well done
The pool of wealth amassin’
Contracts forged with tainted gold
Marks the life of the assassin.
