Ode to the Thread of Humanity

Ever since you left my side I've contemplated suicide.

Homicide, genocide but none of it seemed justified.

To take a life that was not mine, to end my life out of pride.

Out of spite.

But even still it seems right, to inflict upon the world the pain I feel inside.

Let go of my humanity, don't confuse this with insanity.

I don't kill so you will notice me, I kill cause you let go of me.

You were the thread I hoped you'd be sewn into morality.

Keeping me from falling in the darkness that surrounded me.

Take credit for the man I am, take pride in what I do.

The innocence that has been lost, they died because of you.
