The Boy I Once Knew

There was this boy, who I once knew

He and I were friends, stuck like glue

Until one day, he turned askew

And after that, there was nothing I could do

-

I heard that he had voices in his head

After witnessing a horrific bloodshed

Seeing his older sister on a deathbed

Now all he can see is bloody red

-

Then one day, with his hands, created a bloodbath

His innocence has warped into the wrong path

It's all because his crimson heart is filled with wrath

Now all they can do, is fear this psychopath

-

Sadly, They had tried locking him up in a cell

All because, for them, he raised hell

They prayed to god, but he was an infidel

This sorry soul of his would never get well

-

All he did after that contained brutality

No deaths there, were caused by fatality

This, him, what he does, is far from normality

But it's not his fault, this haunting mentality

-

I wish I knew all of this before

To change it, so no one would mourn

It's not fair that his soul was so torn

But maybe, a better life of him will be reborn

-

And I just sit here watching, as I cry

Because of this, he sadly, needs to die

I could have saved what was mine

But now, all I can say to him is "Goodbye"
