An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Many people talk about starting over. They talk about putting the past behind them – but they never do it. They think that by moving house or changing lover they can start afresh. But they can't, because they haven't let go – they've just switched hands. You're not like that though, are you? No, you're doing it – working through your list of betrayals and crossing each one off. Some betrayals must be answered for, reparations must be paid. And sometimes only blood will do.
Not that you enjoy killing. That would be grotesque. And you are not grotesque. This is about healing – and it's not just your own wounds that need to be soothed. Some people won't understand what you're trying to achieve – some might say nobody would understand. But you know that isn't true – other's who've had their lives and dreams dashed, they'd applaud you. They'd envy you.
You never know, you could start a trend.
An eye for an, a tooth for a tooth.
A life for a life.
