this man's blood on your hands

I have this idea swirling in my head about a love story turned murder/suicide but I terrify myself dreaming it up.

It is said

that revenge

Is best served

cold.

But the thing is

rage is hot

mercy, sweltering

and laughter,

frozen.


Revenge makes a person cold.

a body indefinitely colder.

and like a sea monster,

its tentacles reach from the depths

like a hunter longing for ivory,

tracing your mind

with what you could do.


But you only end up shooting

yourself.
