Confessions of a Madman

no, this poem isn't about a psychotic killer. it's about a man who was hurt in a relationship, so he hurt others the same way. I just used some symbolism. wanted to make that clear. also, I'm not sure how I feel about this poem yet (how it rhymes, if it's good enough, etc) so please leave a comment on what you think. thank you, enjoy Confessions of a Madman you come to me, a madman who's heart has been taken you're wanting a confession about a monster inside, finally awaken it all started out so simple, I lost my heart and that's when the monster in me, the demon, awoke with a start he murdered the girls who loved me and when he was done he ripped out their hearts and ate them for fun he fed on their emotions their care, their trust but his love for the hunt soon turned to lust to this day he continues to kill he continues to feed he lives inside me he's all I need so they call me madman but wouldn't you agree that the scary thing is there are plenty more, just like me people that are hoping, waiting for their hearts to be taken so the monster in them, the demon inside, can finally awaken

Adam, you use the concept of a "madman" very well in this poem. I didn't take the word literally, and needed no explanation. This is a very thoughtful piece of introspection. Well done! Love, Carolyn
