The Confessional

Dear Kylie,

It has been a while since I've seen my true reflection. It has been clouded by the ever-darkening shadows of lies I have created around myself, and this madness is now my reality. I cannot see too far past me.

In the midst of this, this hideousness, I have to clear the air. I can't breathe, and even getting out of bed strains me. I have no desire, I want to run and flee.

So please be my priest, and I will be your lost soul in the confessional. It is all I have now, your shadowed face, mine of anonymity. Please believe that you can save me, because my last bit of faith is yours to keep.

I killed a man last year. I broke my dog's nose beating it. I punched my lover in the face last night. I lie to him that I love him. I use people who think I don't speak lies to them. I drown others so that I may take another breath. Wherever I go, I leave behind death.

I know where my soul will go, and now I pray for that endless sleep...

Sincerely,
Trixie

    Deep!!

    The writer appears to be so nonchalant, so cold... "I killed a man last year." So, effortless... as if saying I drank a cup of water last year... Eerie!! You did a great job here. You scared me... I sorta wet my pants a wee bit........

    Wow, very powerful, and well written.
    My favourite line was: "It has been clouded by the ever-darkening shadows of lies I have created around myself, and this madness is now my reality."
    I really enjoyed it

    Well?

    If that what you're asking, I'm saying a "Greaaat Jooob"..lol.. Man... Nice write. The part that got to me most is this sentences, "I drown others so that I may take another breath."..love that line.
