Epilogue

For now,
I’ve had my fill
     vengeance done,
so back
        into the darkness
I shall fade
sitting in my
    snowflake obsidian throne,
        watching society unfold,
looking for
   the next purposeful kill,
will it be you?

No matter,
  I can always 
     count on people
to find reasons
   they shouldn’t exist,
giving me something to do
        when the boredom kicks in.
           Will it be you?

So as the cobwebs build
  upon my night colored fur
and the taste of blood
         slowly fades
                from my mouth
my mind replays
         each of my sadistic,
      lushes,
                      kills 
sending pulses
    of ecstasy 
         through me
     with each retelling,
and as I squirm on my throne
  someone draws closer
        to their demise
                 by my hand.
                        (Will it be you?)
