Placing my slipping sanity under the glass up on trial
you gave me the feign feeling of compassion, empathy.
Then with a laugh, you ripped it away mercilessly,
a push to send me spinning and spiraling into denial.

The nurses dragged me, weeping and pleading,
as you stood by, apathy leaking from every pore.
Your toxins of indifference choking my cries,
and gassing my brain into a frantic needing.

Padded walls only lessen the bruising from seeking,
needing that release, the silence of the unconscience.
The cell's emptiness only amplifies and echoes the voices,
a broken record of hate and pain I blindly smashed.

You finally saw me this last visit,
laying witness to my self-inflicted torment.
Although my hands never left my bleeding ears,
and my bloodshot eyes never opened,
I saw you strut out, a chuckle escaping from your lips.

That chuckle, an upchuck of evil, rang in my mind,
telling me that the voices weren't my own, but yours.
Something snapped that night, my love, a cord,
leaving a ragged scar, whipping back in record time.

With a hidden pen, a stolen key, a vendetta to serve,
escaping was a breeze smelling of the blood on my shirt.
The moon weeping as my shadow crossed over the wire,
my hands lathered in red, anger overflowing hidden reserves.

The stars twinkle in feeble light as I sit here under our bridge,
Do you remeber the nights, the kisses, the whispered nothings?
Back in the time when my sobs were vices on your heart,
back when my spilled blood wasn't your choice wine.

You will finally read this before my visit,
the lives murdered in your name will return,
as my mutterings in your ear, branding souls.
How does it feel to know?


To explain, this is no way encourage the killing of people or senseless murder. This was written merely to depict the pain and tragedy of an individual. It is no implying he is going to kill anyone. It does say she will one day face her rightful punishment. Hell, Karma, haunted by his ghost, etc. Please do not take any offense in this. Thanks.
