Soured

I killed a man in my sleep last night.

 

strange albino maskface

cueball head coated in alabaster

greasepaint of a clown

skin white as the sharpened teeth

tearing through a bloodred slit of mouth

that wound the only color in his face

 

he was keeping me there

in the darkred room with no windows

holding me there in fear

terrorizing me

torturing me

delighting in it

consuming my fear like a drug

lusting after my pain

pleasuring himself with it

 

It had been a very bad day for me.

 

but then he brought Her in

so She could see what he had done

witness the mess he was making of me

brought Her in so I could see

the pain and the fear twisting Her beauty

 

but then he lost himself

in his lust and hunger for our degradation

he leaned down

face to "face"

pressed his sickening skin to mine

to whisper in my ear

all the things he was about to do to Her

 

He shouldn't have.

 

my hands were on his head

fists closed around ears

and pulled

thumbs went into eyes

and sank

and his bloodred mouth opened in glorious tortured screaming

my teeth clamped down

tearing into his bottom lip

with everything i had

i pushed and pulled and tore and ruined

eyeballs popped wet and cold like rotten grapes

ears gave in came off ripping strips of cheek revealing bone

lip tore down down down over chin and neck and red flowed free

free as i felt

free as i now was

as we now were

 

 

and i looked to Her

worried for us both

for so many things

and I saw Her

standing shocked

and there was no more fear in Her eyes

and there was no more love in Her smile

there was only the dumbfounded awe

of the newly awakened

 

all i felt

was justified

This is pretty dark, even by my standards.  Been having a lot of nightmares lately.  They're starting to **** me off.
