Trapped in a ceaseless fever of spite,
an unending fit of resentment and anger
Caught in a moment of unforgiveness
In the snapshot of a hate filled second
The speechless flickering of uncomprehending eyes
-Dilated in disbelief
Your vacant gaze distorted
Twisted in its accusing glare
Teeth glimmering in emotional rage
Spit of hate suspended in mid-air
Bodies strained in fury
Devoured by jaws of despair
One single image frame I wish to forget
now replayed in succession of millions
The one second I will always regret
-My hell found in its reiteration
Held within the visualization,
the continuous rerun of my own violence
A fraction of time perpetuated
By my regretful soul animated
Please forgive the evil in me - The darkness within
Ferocious, inherent demon. Adrenaline gland resident
Threatened subconscious snake. Repressed into
striking coil
Surfacing that black second. Ascending with the boil
