Confession

This is a piece done several years ago by one of my dearest friends. I'll hunt around and see if I can't find some of her more recent work, too.

Confession





Who?s laughing now?

It isn?t me, me who now stands here in the breaking daylight, eyes closed to the advancing sunrise ? waiting for the greyhound that will carry me out of this town. The headache has gone now, a small relief to my rehabilitating mind. I am so alive that it terrifies me, but in a strange, comforting way.

And it certainly isn?t you laughing, my dear. When a jaw is broken in as many places as yours I would imagine laughing isn?t possible right now. You can just whine. Whine the way you have always whined since the day we met, when you took away my happiness. I used to be beautiful. I used to have a song in my heart, air in my lungs, brightness in my eyes?
But you were greedy. And you stole those things from me.

I admit, it was hard to do. Tying you up like that, hearing your pitiful whimpers, watching the life drain out of your porcelain skin. Your blue eyes pierced into me, but I was strong. I?ve always been strong. My only weakness was loving you, the very one who made me unlovable.

Everything went smoothly. Easier than I thought it would be.
?except for the blood.
I never thought there would be so much of it. And it was everywhere. Staining our bed, the carpet, my hands, my clothes. I left a river of red behind me. Even now it?s still under my nails.

But it?s over now. Yes, it is over.

I caught you, kept you, broke you? maybe I was lucky enough to destroy you.
I don?t even think I looked back.



Well love, I guess the funny thing now is, I?m the one laughing after all.

Wow...very different from what i usually read. this is good...definately.

Simmer tell your friend... this is a damn good little piece of work.

I can totally relate to feeling that way...to feeling so much negativity toward a person so that if I were to seriously hurt them I couldn't honestly say I would be sorry.

Very nice. Great imagery
