Unwavering Vow

Beneath my bared teeth lives the unwavering vow
To be the reason that the ones who love you mourn
Revel in relief, redemption reassured
When not even your ghost
Will be left to take your place on earth

In dreams I watched you die
Now I can’t wait to close my eyes
Encased within your grave
Deservingly enslaved where no echo will emerge

Former prey decides your fate
Crying out to a world that couldn’t hear your final words
If I could, I’d murder you myself
Penance will persuade me to venture from vengeance
And repress the hunger in me for revenge

Caress of consequence assures my innocence
Your self-inflicted suffering will satisfy my thirst
