Standing on the border,
between sanity and twisted bliss
of hatred's childhood memories,
where forgiveness and patience
were choices left behind
beside all sense of danger,
where revenge is always sweet
and acting out most brutal fantasies
of hedonistic vengeance
comes easily, and from the heart,
I see you running out ahead of me,
freshly bathed in urgency,
prancing with a bitter smile
naked on the cross hairs
in icy winds of change.

I'm glad someone can put words to that little fugitive from justice that runs out ahead of us. Makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one to know it. Love this.
