The things I did, the things I saw done.
I cannot forget them.
Every night, I pray for death, there at least is some sense of peace.
What I have done is unforgivable by any man.
I wish God were nearer, I would plead, beg for the torment to end.
My dreams, nightmares rather, are filled with men and women.
All telling a story of pain.
Pain I had caused.
At least they are dead now, free from their pain.
While I am left to linger in mine.
I will see them again, but what can I say?
There are no words.
I have nothing now,nothing to keep me here.
The knife, so smooth and cool, my key.
The key that unlocks the door of eternity.
I hold my breath, and wait for the pain
In my arm to remove the pain in my life.
Then, like the sun peaking over the frost bitten mountains
and breaking the darkness of night, whe was there.
For the first time, I wanted to live, and I did.
So long seemed, I had prayed for death,
Freedom from my pain.
Now, she healed me, took away my hurt.
But, as suddenly as it had begun, it would soon be over.
She would die, and I would return to that place, that horrible place.
As I lie with her, I think if God could ever forgive me,
Forgive me for the terrible things I had done.
I smile, of course He would.
I hold her hand, she is near death.
I know I must go with her.
For death would not be so bad, so long as wer were together.

Wow...
Very interesting poem, I like parts of it but some parts just scare me! I would have to say that one of my favorite parts is:
"I have nothing now,nothing to keep me here.
The knife, so smooth and cool, my key.
The key that unlocks the door of eternity.
I hold my breath, and wait for the pain
In my arm to remove the pain in my life."
This part hits the heart and it feels like you are in the killers mind! Great job and thank you for entering and good luck!

Your theme is killing people? That's... morbid. lol But original, I'll give ya that. Ahem... "author notes" appears at the end of your poem. You didn't, by any chance, copy this and enter it as a new-write when it's not, did you? lol. Also, a few typos you might want to look over. Though, I did enjoy the piece. Thanks for entering.
