When I see her picture I want to gouge her eyes out.
Inside despair has mixed with anger leaving me with no doubt.
I swear on our love she will pay.
I fall asleep that night knowing tomorrow will be the day.
Every time I am near her my body constricts.
The seeds of anguish have grown larger in my stomach's pit.
On my terms she will suffer like never before.
All I envision is her dead body in the smell of her own gore.
I wake up and I call her to meet me by my lover's grave.
She agrees and when I am through with her there will be nothing to save.
In my pocketbook I grab my knife and I set off for my ex-best friend's funeral.
In the shadows I watch her as I dream of her downfall.
My lover fell through a plate glass window during a heated argument.
The fiery passion that enveloped made me so bent.
With her back turned, I plunged the knife into her spine.
As I twisted it back and forth it felt divine.
Her screams would go unanswered and as her body fell the spark in my eyes turned into a blaze.
As her body became lifeless I was unfazed.
As rigor mortis set in I left the bloody mess without a care.
She should have known I was her worst nightmare.

A woman gets her revenge on the woman who took away her lover. The proverbial knife in her heart and back was repaid by a real one. She wanted the woman who killed her lover to feel his and her pain. She was a close friend whose stupid argument killed the one she truly loved.

So strong, so powerful everything was simply amazing. I loved every single bit of it.
The seeds of anguish have grown larger in my stomach's pit.
On my terms she will suffer like never before.
