There was the flash of cold steel
as the long thin blades of the scissors
disappeared into the fine fabric of his heavy coat
Drunk and passed out.....
He would never again require it's warmth.
There was the sound of his last breath
as it escaped through the hole in his punctured lung.
His last words spilled out like vomit
on the master bedroom's defiled floor
slightly muffled
by the gurgling of blood which flowed freely
from his open and Liar's mouth.
'Why? he gasped.....
I loved you more than anyone could ever love you.'
Leaving all us to surmise.....
That just maybe
his daughter didn't think it appropriate
so she bid him Godspeed and kissed him Goodnight
for the very last time......
