Ashes to Ashes

She can't focus.
Her thoughts don't make sense.
He's out there killing,
While they're left with no defense.

Somehow its all connected.
And in some way it leads back to her.
She wishes it would all just go away.
She wants things to be as they were.

Always on alert.
She must always be prepared.
Drinking to relieve the stress.
The only move she dares.

His killings are brutal.
Each body is set on fire.
He stays to see his result.
The screams fill his every desire.

He laughs because they have no clue.
He's just another one of them.
It thrills and excites him to know,
that the police can't catch him.

A rescuer comes.
All is saved but one.
The killer dies.
Putting an end to all his fun.

Ashes to Ashes.
The killer burns.
Nothing is left of him.
The table has turned.
