All I Ever Wanted Was A Friend

The police would be on their way
There’s no doubt about that
But I’ve been given time to prepare
Time to contemplate

I remember my childhood
Dissecting animals was my hobby
And when I was eighteen
I had killed my first man

I’d felt so neglected when my parents left
So all I wanted was company
But he said he wanted to leave
So I showed them all, smashing his skull
In my parents own living room

Hicks had been his name, a hitchhiker
All I wanted was his friendship
But now his bones are scattered
Throughout the neighbours yards

I remember ten years later
How I woke in a hotel room
Beside me lay a lifeless corpse
So I stuffed him into a suitcase

I laugh out loud as I remember
The idiot taxi driver carrying the
Suitcase for me as I returned home

By now I had begun my collection
Two skulls, one I painted grey
And a complete skeleton, which I bleached with acid
I stored biceps in my fridge

I even took photo’s, I remember the nineteen year old model
I have pictures of me dismembering him
His skull sits in my freezer

As time went by
I had killed eighteen men
From the ages of fourteen to twenty-six
I had three human heads in my freezer
And two more in the pot on the stove

I even had a human heart and male genitals
In freezer bags in my fridge
I even sat down and ate one of my victims for dinner
I guess I was feeling unstoppable
Until today that is
When that damn Edwards had escaped
Again all I wanted was his friendship

All I wanted was someone to talk to
But like the others he wanted to leave
I failed to stop him
The bastard ran to the police

So here I’m waiting
Knowing no lies will help
No story will save me
The simple truth is
No one wanted to be friends
With poor old me, Jeffrey Dahmer

Author notes

just for anyone who was wondering or interested Jeffrey Dahmer was caught on the 22nd of June 1991 and sentence to 15 life sentences, he plea for insainity was rejected for the simple reason that everyone was too scared of the possiblity he could be released.

    well i am just reading a book on Jeffrey Dahmer right now and it says with one of his victims (the one where he kept the skeleton after bleeching it with acid) he actually did keep the biceps in the fridge..and alot of his motive for the killing was the fact he wanted friendship, that is the reason he killed his first victim.. basically the same as ShadowPrey has stated above... this is a well written poem packed full with facts...i like how you wrote from through his eyes, would have been a challenge by itself... good luck with the contest..

    Also killed in prison. He only kept heads the refrigerator. Other organs were preserved in formaldehyde and I also think that it's a little deeper rooted than just wanting to be friends. But I tend to complicate myself, so you don't have to believe me. I'm glad I stopped by to read.
    Peace
