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
