Eyes of Peace

Within her eyes there now is peace,
Quietly the killer did cease.
A young life that was once meak,
She will make the news this week.

It would appear there's a madman on the loose?
Prison or death for him which would you choose?
No other choice he will not stop,
He thinks he's going to outwit each cop.

Still riding on death's last high,
Pausing to remember he breathes a sigh.
Once there were two now just one,
He can't wait for night to devour sun.

In her dead eyes only he could see,
Release and freedom now for him to keep.
Lost in silence and slipping to dream,
Lasting satisfaction from terrors scream.
