I Want To Kill A Man

***

I mourn the most for the things I never said.

I'll keep this memory close—until I kiss it goodbye.

Little girl… would you wash the blood from my hands?

I won't see you again… so bury your scars deep.

Let your tears fall where mine won't.

Let them sink into me, so I never forget.

"Malik."

"What?" 

"Why?... Why did you kill her?" 

"...She asked me to."

"Why?"

"She Fell."

"Fell? Fell where?"

"Into Depravity."

"Depravity?"

"Depravity."

"Couldn't you save her?"

"I tried."

"Really hard?"

"I... I think."

"Then there was nothing you could do."

"Do you hate me for it?" 

"No." 

"Why not?"

"I just don't."

"I killed her."

"You did."

"I buried her in the ground and walked away like it was nothing."

"You did."

"Why the Hell don't you hate me?!"
