Nightmare 3

The setting is dark 
This nightmare seems familiar 
He's now sitting alone
Intrigued feeling peculiar

Only a heavy breathing 
Of adrenaline wearing off
He fled from the house
Now he found himself lost

He thought that he would
Feel scared and scattered
Lost in jumbled thoughts 
From the way he had battered

The couple to death
He felt a fire within
Lite up when he killed them
It was fun, he admits 

Did not expect this turn out
Enjoying what he had done
He felt satisfied and glad
He didn't use a gun

Becuase he watched them die
Painfully slow and suffer 
Glad he kept his composure
Wasn't mistaken or flustered

He covered his tracks
He felt well well enough at best
To see if he gets caught
Will be the true test

His crazed new found desire
He received from his crime
He hatches a new plan
Feeling confident this time

He doesn't want to loose
This new increasing enrage
Intent need to do it again
Before it goes away

He wants to try something
Different in his next attempt 
Maybe he'll strangle them
Or pump gas through a vent

New ideas he now ponders
Contrasts and compares
He is anticipating
His her next nightmare
