The Murder in Sixth Street Alley…continued

We lock eyes for a momentary eternity
I am inexplicably swallowed
Falling into bottomless voids
Blinding black madness with no remorse
Waves a disapproving finger
Like a mother implementing discipline
Adrenaline!
A great tidal wave surges over me
My terror filled eyes disengage lunacy
Incidental voyeur now turned quarry
I have but one option remaining
Run!

About This Poem

Last Few Words: I knew you folks would make me write about killing. Lol. It’s good practice. Psychopathy and mass murder is foreign. As a romantic poet though, I’d kill for love. I’d die for love.

Review Request Intensity: I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Editing Stage: Editing - draft
