From Hell

Inspired by the "From Hell" letter written by Jack the Ripper.

From Hell

I do ordain,

The bloody catch in her throat,

Bubbles popping as red spills over

From the jugular vein.

From Hell

I do remember,

Each temptation, first to last;

The spitting of the fire

As red sizzled in the ember.

From Hell

I do return,

The Devil hanging on my back,

Whispering orders in my ear;

Each will have their turn.

From Hell

Is where I speak,

The knife still in my hand,

Shaking in anticipation for when

I break your shriek.
