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
