Shortcomings in Wrongdoing




I'm inside your head as you drag the razor 'cross your wrists like the fiddler strikes the strings with his bow.

Tears flow down your face, the life giving crimson essence rushes from your veins, and a final comfort reaches your heart.

One simple task that you have undergone in hopes of undoing all the damage I've caused your soul.

"See what you've made me do?" I would cry out if only you would be there to hear it.

Because of what you've done, I'll forever be tormented by the ghost of what lamentably once was.

I lie awake at night crying over the lasting memory of the face that taught me to love.

I lie awake crying not because I love you or because I miss you for that'd be much easier.

I cry because I wanted you gone and have what I want but still have not satisfaction.

I have not satisfaction because you are dead, but my hands are clean.
