Blood On My Hands

I look upon my shadowed face, grinning at me in the flames. The rush of rage has left me high, but quickly I crash to an all time low. I look upon my hellish work, I'm choking on my rage. I see myself as all I hate, my tears mix with the blood on my hands. How will you cleanse your hands?

This is someone who is afraid of intimacy because of all they've done. "How will you cleanse your hands?"- says it all. I felt this work in my gut.
