My knife slashes the body yet again.

The others watch.

I am not murdering this man.

I am ridding the world of him.

Let his blood become a message to not become a burden to the world.

Let's get rid of them all.

Come on.

Let's paint the town red.

You shrugged me off,

As if I wasn't a piece of you.

An entire half of you.

But I was valuable to you.

You needed me as your pawn.

I was the collateral that ensured she would answer when you called.

You shuffled me around that game board, with the confidence of a winner,

And the heart of a cheater.

Like every cheater before you and every other to come after,

you lost.

You don't play any more.

I make the rules now.
