Blood Lust.


Wearing a veil of disappointment,

He sat in darkness.

Tears, gushing out his eyes

Did no good.

I heard voices.

Voices, that told me he was a disgrace.

They would happily swap him with someone else.

But they never cared for his crushed heart.

I realised I was getting picked up.

His thumb gliding at my edge,

And I penetrated the skin, kissing the blood beneath.

I heard a gasp of breath. 

But the blood lust had just begun.

I traced the line in palms,

Tearing here and there.

I paused at the life line. 

The irony, it was too long.

Three strokes it all took,

To cut those lines short,

But I was not alone to blame,

People who said you can't, happily slept.

But the poor boy bitterly wept.

I carried on tracing his body.

Slitting the face he was laughed upon,

I was drenched in blood.

I was sickened at the site,

Where mental pain bore all physical one with ease.

I wished I was blunt, 

Helping him to live.

But living a life like this made me think,

And I was pleased, that I was not born a human being.

I, was then, made to trace the gut.

The fat he was shamed for, all bled

For the sins they never committed.

His grip loosened, and I realised it was time for the final adieu.

My edge rested on his wrist.

I felt the pulse beneath it, 

Slow and it was ready to stop.

A bit of force and I kissed the vein.

A slice that slowly bled.

And that night, I became

The Surgeon Of Death.
