The darker side

Is a side

I'm a part of

By my own choices

I was once

On the side of light

Fighting off

What I have become

I left my coworkers

I left my teammates

I left my friends

I left my family

She left first

The brunette

She had difficulty

As did I

He was a friend

More than that

He was like a son

The way we played chess

But I snapped

I was like

Other great villains

Vader, Voldy, Vicious

When I left

I found I needed

Action

So intense

Action required

Action done

I killed

He died

That first time

That first murder

Was exhilarating

It called me back

And I killed again

And again

And again

Until I could no more

That feeling of invincibility

That power

Can only come

From so many things

But once they

Almost found me

I knew

I had to stop

But I couldn't

I was hooked

I needed to continue

I could never stop

So I came up

With the ultimate plan

To take

One more life

That life would be

My most impressive kill

But I needed

The best subject

No one else was worthy

Of this test

Of this performance

Of this one final deed

Except one

He isn't far

From where I am

From where I ran

So I rose

To the challenge

Up giving the police

My best show

I had ropes

I had chains

I had other instruments

Of torture

But I needed only

One thing

Only one instrument

The most simple thing

I called them

And they came

My former family

To witness my glory

I pulled my knife

They told me to stop

Especially him

The man I missed so

I looked him

In the eyes

And said

Good bye
