I killed someone today

I killed someone today,

A loathing , narcissistic, ignorant animal

I sliced their gut, made the blood spew out slowly like a viscous liquid,

relishing in their slow and agonising death, condemning them into oblivion

Satiating my physical and emotional hunger

This hatred I had for them, innate, unexplainable, natural

Killing them felt like a duty, I didn't feel burdened by the deed, I felt obliged

​

Blood pouring into soil, even deeper into despair, seeping into existence,

Tainting life with its ominous and gory incidence

Overflowing the dirt, unsure and unable to keep everything in

As I turned the body over with my warm, puddle-like hands

I see a reflection, someone unrecognisable staring back at me with intent

This indentured servant hopeless, suffocating, disgusted.

With resentment rotting like meat, spoiling everything, blemishing life around

​

This thing staring back naïvely at me, looking relieved, amorous and satisfied

Happy with freedom, grinning like the Cheshire Cat ,

reminiscent of someone I used to know,

Someone close,

Was it me?

I don’t remember as I just killed someone today
