Cold, cold hands. These hands of mine... Cold with red. I carry a burden. Such a heavy burden. I bury this burden-I bury deep. So, so deep. As I drive, I feel relief. My mind is wandering from place to place- from thought to thought. ...I swirve. Hitting a tree is not what I need right now, or is it? Maybe it would be better if I no longer existed. I'm quite awful, really. I lie to people very often- no remorse. Nah, maybe not. Just keep on driving. That's what I should do. Exactly what I should do. Home. Home feels so wonderous. I need my bed...but I shall retire to the couch tonight. My sheets are awfully messy. Pit pat, ratta tat. Knock knock, it's twelve o' clock. I answer the door, and I find a man in uniform. "Do you know the whereabouts of this woman?" She looked very familiar... "No, oh no, my, my, no, no." I answer with earnest. "That will be all, sir". Men in blue. Never leaving me alone. I feel they like me. I wonder why? Night time again. Oh, I love the night. I don't love this woman, though. She lays on my bed, naked. Some girl from a bar- she wants to lose her inhibitions with me. What she doesn't realize is... I'm losing mine with her. I tell her to close her eyes. She obliges. I walk softly over to her. Slowly, slowly. I feel her body with my hand... I feel absolute power within my palm. Bliss runs through my body- I end her. Now I have another burden for the night. It's no real problem, honestly. I'll just take her where I dump all of my other burdens. Hopefully I won't be too tired to lift her. She's pretty light, anyways.
