I killed you I know that now And I'm ready to take responsibility for my actions
I saw you hit the floor Through the veil of pistol smoke And the haze of awkward admissions of guilt Dead or dying brain cells Grasping breaths And silence
I killed you Because you had become a monster Not like Frankenstein But like the arrogant ******* who brought him to life I killed you Because it seemed like the most reasonable course of action at the time
I watched your insides boil and burst With every creaking door hinge And empty, hollow, cob-webbed emotion I saw your eyes go dim As youth blossomed into ungainly structure And loss I listened to your blood-caked final words "Tell them... I said something prophetic"
I buried you Wore black and dropped flowers Sang songs of remembrance And moved on
I killed you I know that now And while I'm not apologizing I am asking forgiveness
