An Obedient Son

There is blood on my hands

Crimson-hued copper like viscous fluid

Although the skin is burning inside

I can't scrub it off with bleach.

 

I just killed her and

I thought I'd feel liberated

Then why, god, why the fuck

Does my body tremble

At the sight of her corpse.

 

Mother!

I got rid of her

Just like you said

Now I won't have to run away with anyone

And we can sleep together again.

 

Please

Let me curl in your lap

Mother

Yes, like that

Stroke my hair

Sing me a lullaby...

 

Knock, knock, knock

 

"Is Beth in there with you, Hermann?!

Open up you so of a b***h!"

 

A cold shiver tingles down my spine

Its her father

What should I do mother

No I don't want to

Stop cursing and swearing at me mother!

Okay

I'll take care of him just like Beth.

Happy now?
