Lesson Learned

I saw you yesterday, You and your new boyfriend. Thoughts of how we used to be, Flashed before my eyes. Holding hands, Walking together, Laughing, Talking, Kissing. Love past since expired, No longer was it love, Nor was it lust, Not pleasure, Not dislike, But pure animosity. I remembered how I scared you, Made you scream, Beg for mercy. How your parents cried, Held you close, Prayed for your being alive. I no longer wanted you, But you knew too much, About me, What I did, What I've done, What I can do. You didn't have the mind about you to submit, You fought back, Held your independance, Refused to swear silence. Your brother was the first to fall... I offered you again, You yelled in my face, Screamed I was wrong, Swore to get back at me, Promised to make me sorry. Your dog went next... Arrogance still coursed through your veins, You wouldn't tell the police, You wouldn't tell your parents, You kept saying you would win, You would make me sorry. I believe you used to have a cousin, Very close you two were... once. With tear filled eyes you came to me, You swore to never tell anyone anything, You promised to die with the secrets I gave you, You admitted defeat to me. I saw your parents, Ravaged by the deaths. I saw your family, Praying for their souls. I saw you, Mascara running down your cheeks. And I loved it... I think perhaps I should add a good measure. I see now that you have found another to love, One that I certainly do not like, One that would be fun to chase down, Fun to capture, Fun to make scream, And fun to hurt you with. It was a grave mistake you made, Holding hands with the man that replaced me. Perhaps you will learn never to be happy again, If I left his body in your room. You will learn, You never mess with a psycho.... Have a nice day."I warned her about me before we started dating. None of this is my fault."
