Sleep

Sleep, you fool

You who reached deep inside me

You who wrenched my hope,

My life,

My very soul,

Stole them from me and set them ablaze

Leaving them as naught but ashes

I have nothing left but pain

Pain and bloodlust

So sleep, sleep, you fool

Let your dreams take you into your paradise

For I live in my own dreams now

And this is one nightmare you don't wake up from

How quick you were to judge me

To hate me

Yet now, even as the ropes wrap around your useless, pathetic form

You have no idea what hatred is

Not yet

Sleep, you fool

Why do you not sleep now?

Do not fear the blade

The smooth, beautiful steel glimmering in the light of the moon

Return to your paradise,

For soon you will be in mine,

The realm of agony and darkness you cast me into

Why tremble before your creation,

Your Frankenstein?

Sleep, you fool

Can you not close your eyes?

Can you not avert them from me?

Let my blade aid you in your goal

Do not fear it

It exists only to help you

Why do you cry out so loudly?

Why must you offend that whose very existence is for you?

For your resolution

Sleep, you fool

Silence your screams

There are no monsters here

None but you

I am nothing but the hunter of demons

The executioner of that which slithers and creeps

My blade is my comrade,

Your comrade

Your savior

Now sleep, you fool

My blade tires of you

It no longer wishes to hear your pleas

You have betrayed it

Turned against it as you did me

It no longer exists to serve

Only to extinguish

With just a kiss to your neck

It gives you just one command

Sleep, you fool...

Wow, why is that the visage of Dexter and his kill room burst so brightly in my mind's eye? Your friend in words, Pete
