The Last Cut

“Beware the Ides of March.”

Et tu Brutus
 
I lay here waiting
where whispers weave through the halls
my edge honed and keen
to carve a fate long foretold
a crimson tide soon unfolds
 
A hand once trusted
now grips me with steady force
I strike through his flesh
his cry, a vow torn apart
a bond now lost in the dark
 
Through solemn duty
I am thrust without remorse
yet honor falters
beneath his dimming vision
I gleam—his fate now is done

Written from the point of view of Brutus’ dagger which was the last one to hit Julius Caesar and prompted him to say “Et tu Brutus”
