Work Text:

Morality of one's actions



Who am I , if not a person.

A righteous man.

A loving being.

A living soul.

With morals

 

standing

breathing.



The motionless body,

 

splayed on the pavement.

 

Glossy eyes 

devoid of light

with fear and blood

pooling b e l o w ……. low

 

The item,

tool of H E L L 

resting,

watching,

(it wasn't wrong)

 

B R E A T H I N G.

 

BORN OF DESPAIR,

 

judging…

(he must have been so scared)



…yet no punishment,

for the demon lay

 

torn

cold

still

hated by others

 

And here I stand

colder

hellish

changed

tinted red

 

Now souless

And praised by others.

...

Now my nights

pass so much slower.

The ticking and ringing

counting the hours.

Too slow.

 

My thoughts swirl.

Tangle.

Hurt.

Haunt.

Kill.

 

My body

aches.

My mind

torn asunder.

Hesitant.

 

The tool

rests on my desk.

Watching me.

Judging me.

Taunting me.

 

I no longer hesitate

I no longer feel

I no longer see

I no longer breathe

I no longer am.
