The Assassin's Lament

I put all my trust in you.

We were companions

You held me as I wept

I was there through your highs and lows

We ventured far and wide.

In a moment of desperation you made your choice

A life of friendship gone with the slash of a blade and a fountain of gore

I wandered through the ruined fields on search of aid

Dragged my ruined form to the square of an unknown town

Where I came face to face with a strange Clown

He brought me back from the brink of death

And he took me in to his circus of madness

We performed across the ravaged lands

I wowed crowds with my feats of athleticism

I found a new family, new friends

Years passed and we traveled 'round this destroyed land

Entertaining and distracting and recruiting.

You had nearly faded from my hole-filled mind

Til one day we visited an all too familiar place

And in the crowd I saw you.

You.

No more thoughts in my ruined head!!

I rip the dagger from its old place on your hip

And I return the favor.
