A Perfect-

A perfect crime. The paper the victim, the weapon a pen. A perfect time. The thoughts in my head, a prayer, I say, amen. A perfect day. The mood is right, it is time to begin. A perfect way. So I write, Father please, forgive me for my sin. A perfect start. The liquid poison, slowly kills the page. A perfect heart. Slowly breaking, from all the rage. A perfect death. Please go in peace, Your soul to keep. A perfect breath. For it's the last, please don't weep.
