Confessions of a Murderer
I loved you. I'm sorry.
Weeping amidst the bones of you. Shattered and scattered all around me like confetti. Ruthlessly cut, ripped from my heart, from the world.
I did it. Me. I loved you, and I killed you, and I'm sorry. I had to. They made me. A piece of me died with you. The little bit of me I fed you to grow you. Blood, sweat, tears, Self.
Oh, my darlings, my darlings.
Wait. What's this? Hope, like Springtime amongst the ashes. Phoenix-like, you became seeds. Little shoots I scoop up with care. Immortal. I saved you! In the folder marked "DARLINGS".
