Vengeance

Venom flows through

my rigid veins

as the pace of my heart

races sending

pulses of poison

through my body

I want to spit

I stand here awaiting

the moment that I can

puncture your flesh with

fatal fangs

inject and infect you

with my diseased love

my poisonous soul

everything

is

black

I am pure darkness, night

evil lurking

behind brick walls

steam rises from my mouth

as I exhale into the cold

and dark night

I am pure evil and

I will destroy you

I will make you pay

for every sleepless night

every bruise, every moment

of fear; I will wait for you

I am fire and I intend

melt your flesh

as I grip your skin

I want to hear you scream

I want to hear that final

crack in your voice

that skates the border

of a proud man unwilling

to project weakness to

the high-pitched screams

of pure fear. yes

I want to torture you

to prick your flesh

pour finely granulated salt

into your open wounds

I want to make you feel again

as if you had never felt before

I want you to beg

crawl on your hands and knees

drenched in my sweat, beg

beg for my mercy

Beg until I scald your tongue

with the red-hot poker of my words

I'll brand your skin with my insignia

because you have become my bitch

I want to hurt you

I want to embody and evoke your

greatest fears; so that you might be

forced into an insomniacs deluge

My cackle with echo in your mind

as you try to free yourself

from the nightmare

that I have created for you

I want you dead

I want you gone from earth

so women can once again

roam free and safe

through the city streets
