My Heart

My Heart

The target I missed came back

Alluding to a second chance.

The flame flickers, and in the distance

A sofa and a table, wine in the glass.

A masculine voice, disembodied, says,

"You are far too late."


My heart pounds, my footsteps echo

In the dark and silent room.

Burning ever sweet, the evil flower of my heart takes control.

All strings attached, that lust grows.

Into something unanticipated.

Desire to kill, desire to destroy, desire to harm.


My blood grows numb

As I hear their screams louder than before.

The desire burns in me, burning in my heart,

No guilt exists.

That pleasure as the blood spurts is unacceptable.

How could I do this?


I finally realise

My suppression failed

The activation lived

I don't know what is wrong or right anymore.

Insanity draws me closer

My heart pounds to the screams and laughter.


What is wrong with me?

I'll never get the chance to know.

Maybe someday I might

Maybe... never.
