It flows through my veins
Never felt anything like it
Such a force
Building inside me
Such heat
Spreading through me with every heartbeat
I must act
Before it paralyzes me again
This night…
Will the be the last

Every breath of yours is an infection
Such a disease you have been
I hate your very existence
Your contagious virus must be stopped
Taking over not only my life
But theirs as well

The night was still, silent
In one delicious, swift moment, I could take you
This world should have been rid of you long ago
“If only I had the strength… before
you hurt us so…
Reaching across the bed to whisper into his ear,
“I don’t love you anymore”

My eyes burned
A single tear staining his pillow
It was time
I gripped it tight,
My skin white with the beating heat,
It was time, I was ready
Touching his cheek for one last kiss…

His body was stiff as concrete
And just as cold

Cold as death
Immediately the fire inside me extinguished

Death had come too softly for this devil
