that's the thing about a murderer
they become so broken and haunted
that even their own hand
seems sinisterly daunted
but it's kind of humane
what their mind will have done
it has broken a reality
it refuses to let them run
they will only see
the life that they took
every single eye
is their victims look
and in a way they are new
nerves exposed to the earth
for a search for calm
their being is rebirthed
and isn't it insane
that a person is made new
when they **** another
without leaving any clue.
