To Kill Someone
Nathan Hur
To kill someone,
you do not need a knife,
a gun,
or rope.
To kill someone,
you need no heart,
no mercy,
no faith.
For,
to kill someone
would mean to rip
out their heart
full of
memories and
feelings
then
roast it black.
But,
to kill someone
by taking their
heart,
is like taking a
time-bomb
that explodes
and takes your life too.
So,
to kill someone,
you will have needed
to kill yourself too.
