Asylum

The walls move and shake in the night
My heart beats fast, for it's filled with fright.
The ground quivers with an earthquake's might
Blood on my hands, such a beautiful sight.

I hear their screams from down the hall
A wolf cries out, and I heed its call.
Splatters of gore now cover the walls
The guard bellows, such a heartless thrall.

Sickness wins, and I heave on my shirt
The food here tastes very much like dirt.
Shadows dance, and with my soul they flirt
Trying in vain to remain covert.

People intrude like an iron bar
Surprised that I haven't killed thus far.
I scream, but my head is stuck in a jar
It shatters, leaving a gruesome scar.

My mind races whilst awaiting the feast
I free all my rage and hatred unleashed.
I prowl the city, like a hungry beast
Guilt doesn't overcome me in the least.

I find him quickly, and remove his head
"No! You can have her!" was the last thing he said.
I did not hear him, and now he lies dead
The look in his eyes remains that of pure dread.

The craving my soul feels is not fed
This human hide I wear has been shed.
My soul is heavy, as though made of lead
On the shear thought of them in bed.

It feels as though I'm in the rain
Trying to calm down, but in vain.
I cannot express my heart's disdain
Killing's the only way to express this pain.

Words form in my mouth. Slut. Whore.
Words I had never thought of before.
I took a life, yet still I want more
SHE is what I want. Of that I am sure.

No! It's not right! It's wrong to do!
But yet I yearn, for I so wish to.
Kill her now! She's have no clue!
Look out love, I'm coming for you.

My mind is sick of this abuse
I find her ready to tie the noose.
I notice the knot is rather loose
I tighten it hard, her bleeding profuse.

As I watch her fade away
I've no remorse, and no dismay.
I'm glad to see her finally pay
I recall her choking "I love you" to this day.

What have I done? I scream
I cut her down from the wooden beam.
I look into her eyes, they no longer gleam
This is something I'll never redeem.

I cry like a child, and scream at the air
Hoping to find some answers there.
I touch her face, and stroke her hair
How can this be? It just isn't fair!

I growl like a ferocious bear
How could I have lacked to care?
I want to kiss her, but do not dare
All the memories we had so shared.

I wake with tears and it's hard to believe
I sit up with one strong heave.
It was a dream my mind had weaved
I find quickly that I cannot leave.

A voice in my head will not subside
"She drove you insane, and so here you lie
All alone and bound to die."
I look around, for this is my
Asylum.
