End Of My Rope

The lifeless
body
hanging
at
the end
of my
rope
once
was a
king
once
a scholar
once
a leader

now
the
last bit
of
life
drains
from my
bloody
fingers
that
snapped the
neck of
my enemy

I have
finally
reached
peace
knowing
the battle
that never
needed to
have been
fought
is
finally
over

for
my enemy
and
for
me
