Knifemare
The endless dark, void of bliss
Dull droning of
A place of stark abyss
But what is this?
A sense of life
In the vast nothingness.
A dreadful sight on
A mortal’s eyes,
Sure to alarm and fright
Blades of steel and handles of wood
Bent and twisted to
Form a statue that stood
Spare and tender.
Deemed a Knifemare
With fingers that render
A brave bloke
Frozen in fear.
A silver tongue to evoke
Remarks said smooth and clear.
You, the fools, have wandered
Blindly, yet stepping ever near.
However, despite their menacing
And horrifying mask,
The entity is actually welcoming.
With a effortless noise of a swish,
Visions cloud your mind.
You learn that this form was not their wish.
Doomed to occupy this hellish
Place by a lich.
They forever relish
Your companionship.
Used as nothing more than a
A piece on a board to grip.
They were kept
In this prison to kill,
Only a matter of time before they snapped.
You listened to
This somber tale and ask
If they want to escape with you.
They hurriedly agree
And they return to the world
Left so carefree.
They are free to do whatever
Their destiny chooses.
They are free to be forever
To roam the world in peace.
View everything they missed.
They are free to be no longer a headpiece.
They are free to finally live.
And it’s all thanks to you
And your ability to forgive.
They thank you for ending their pain
And you guide them back to the
Door that led you to this domain
