Killers Remorse

Forgive me father for I have sinned He whispered efficiently into the priests ear I killed a man today but it was his fault He looked at me wrong therefore I needed to I tore his heart out with his own hand I saw him starring vaguely in my direction I could not help myself but stare back with fury My uncontrolable demon inside of me did it I must convict myself before justice takes me The balance of the universe shifted when my hand entered his chest His lonely black heart lay beating in my soft gentle hand As it stopped beating I looked into his eyes They went lifeless and hazed over with relief He wanted me to kill him priest He asked me when he looked at me The glance provoked his wish to come true I did him a favor as I am a saint working for you The man I killed was the devil The man I slaughtered with a grin was the man who killed hope The balance of the universe has shifted The balance of the universe has been lifted As I lifted his beating heart......so I did to the universe I saved the universe priest....I saved you Now I must die as a result
