Murder in 0.5
What does it mean for one to be of no return?
She sips the soup at a rhythmic pace
Her lips an alluring red
Ever so distant
Ever so close
At recess I am pulled for another evaluation'
But I can't help but think of her
Ever so perfect
Ever so tragically broken
By time we get back to our rooms
I devise my own little plan
Ever so romantic
Ever so obscenely grotesque
I steal the key from the guard working the night shift
Entering her room on the second floor
Ever so loud
Ever so silent
She greets me with hello
I greet her with fury
Ever so depressing
Ever so longingly ecstatic
Handcuffs soon are the next to greet me
The cop shoves my face to the floor
Ever so peaceful
Ever so excruciatingly painful
Where is my humanity I ask
What separates a bad person from a person who is just doing bad
Ever so many questions
Ever so little answers
