fourteen pieces
you tore me into fourteen goddamn pieces
and for what, set?
a throne? a crown? a title?
how’s it feel to bite when you got rotten teeth?
you killed me
you let my wife find me; she hid me
did you pretend not to know?
did you hide while she tucked me into those reeds,
like a coward?
she could kill you easy, you know.
i wonder what you used
a cleave, an axe
or did you rend me lim...
He killed my girlfriend, the love of my life! AND HE GOT WAS A 1 YEAR SENTENCE. That’s all.
“Do you really want to do this?” I ask.
He walked into MY house wanting revenge on me. Did he know I would literally kill for her?
I grabbed the knife, and lightly stroked it near his throat. “Why did you kill her?” I asked.
Silence. “You really want to know?” He asked, grinned.

It didn't always feel this good, this _necessary_. It started out just as a fantasy. I mean, I always thought about how it would feel to be that in control. The feeling of being _in charge _fully of someone's destiny. My hands around a neck, squeezing until the light of their essence dimmed. My heart beating excitedly with each force of strength. Smashing metal to bone, hearing the splitting of a ...
An endless cycle of right and wrong, justice and injustice, yes and no, and even life and death. That’s all that living is. In this world you are one or the other. The latter are seen as criminals, villains and scum while the opposite is seen as heroes and those that can do no wrong. But what if right was actually wrong, and justice wasn’t justice but a facade. A way for those “heroes” those “good...
The truth of my proclivities is varied and multifaceted. Few would suggest it some strange derangement but that is short sighted; a judgement conclusion predicated upon norms born of preservation of humanity. Life as a precious gift deserved by all is a disallusioned pretense made obsolete by medicine and understanding of human biology. No linger can we call it a gift when life spans expand b...
To be honest, there’s nothing compulsive about it. It’s just… natural. I wake up every morning the same exact way. My dreams are what some people would consider to be… upsetting. Disturbing. Stressful. I dunno, I’m used to them. It’s been that way for a very long time. Longer than I can remember. So long that I can’t remember waking up with a different feeling in my body. It just feels normal at t...
Angel found parts of her career hard.
"Who am I kidding?" she said to herself. "It's more of a job than a career."
She looked down at the woman lying sprawled on the ground before her. Truthfully, it was more of a life than a job.
"My life. Lucky me. Death as a lifestyle." She looked around the scene. It wasn't the best place for someone to die here alone, in the shared laundry room. Lint and...
Its so cold
But its so hot
Goosebumps
But so much sweat
Loved
But so lonely
Hugs
And tears
Lost
And found
Why am I
But they’re here with me
Terrified
Calm
I’ll fail
I’ll do it later
Mind on the floor
Heart in the sky
Hate myself
Love you
Hiding
Glowing
I’m fine
Help me
Trying
Giving up
Don’t fall
Who will care
Please care
Please don’t worry
I need you
I want you to be okay...
“I guess it all started as a child. My mother was a therapist and my father was a con artist. My mother told me to make a difference in the world. She said I could be whatever I wanted to be. She was all I had.
“Dad was never around. He was always in jail for conning someone out of their money. He soon just disappeared from my life, leaving us with nothing. It broke my poor mother’s heart. I want...
I like the sounds
Sounds of hearing them scream
Screams echo from within
Within their throat my knife pierced
Pierced and bleeding
Bleeding dark red
Red like my eyes
Eyes watch them twitch
Twitch as they no longer laugh
Laughed at me
Me, myself and I
I like this silly little blade
Blade’s not clean anymore
Anymore, their breathy voice
makes no noise
Noises coming from my head
Heading towards a...
