poems by me

euphoria

the dagger flew through the air and hit the moving object

though what it is that'll  she'd aimed for, she didn't know

a movement had caught her eye

but the cry she heard

was not what she'd expected for it was-

it was human

she rushed over to the dying man

she didn't mean to, she swore

she stayed to sing a song for him

let his last moments be better than ever

but

the way she felt as his life ebbed away

almost as though his life force left him and attached itself to her

she felt

euphoric

she felt the joy from his marriage  day

and the sorrow he felt next to his wife's death bed

she saw his children, though they felt like hers, for the first time

she went through every stage of his life

and though she felt guilt

she wondered

would this happen if i killed anyone

is this man special

or am i

so the young lady got up

she dug a grave for the man as he'd sacrificed his life to give her this feeling

he deserve'd a proper burial at the very least

once he was six feet under

she thanked him and left

though she didn't want to dig another grave

she knew she must

must find out if this can happen again

she walked to the nearby mall

she waited at the edge of the forest to wait for her next victim

a young man appeared within minutes

not much older than her

he was rather handsome she thought

what a pity that she was about to kill him

but she did

though she made sure his last moments were his best

oh yes she was surely much better than his girlfriend

when they finished she let him know kindly

darling you've been wonderful

thank you for what your'e about to do

and she covered him with her favorite color

once again

she felt his pain his sorrow

but also his love and pleasure

most of all she felt her euphoria

it'd happened again

so she went on and on

eventually

she'd felt the slowing heartbeat of everyone in her town

then state

it was considered an epidemic

they called her a disease

they didn't understand what was happening

but she continued

heart after heart

soon her country was dead

continent

world

she was the only one left

so as she stabbed the last heart to ever beat

she wondered

did she feel euphoria now?
