Trigger Warning

a murderer
doesn’t realize
what he is putting an end to
otherwise
he wouldn’t do it
he doesn’t know about
the mother, the
endless memories
the
countless tidbits
of life
he can never know
about
now that he’s gone
and
put an end
to an
existence
full of
thoughts, deeds
questions, fears
the humanity
burned
out of him
and now
it’s all
hate
revenge
and no recognition
of the horrors
he creates
