I Know You

Giant moray eels spring from the hip bones
Snapping at the toes of swimmers above
She lay here because you have forgotten
The poor dead girl that had no voice to hear

You placed her there to calm your troubled soul
She sleeps there below dark disturbed waters
To remain in your life and memory
Of your ultimate young weakest moment

You’re a killer with the blackest of hearts
A ruined life that wants some company
Married with children and a killer free
To find the next victim as you well please

I have spotted you my evil old friend
Soon you will meet your long eternal end
