Today
I stabbed a man
He was asleep
And I barely knew him
but I felt no remorse.

As I saw his blood on my hands
No hate, only a sense of duty
As the blade bit deeply through his skin
Adrenaline with a hint of hope...

He never stirred
As my hand plunged into his chest
Almost lovingly
(this is the closest you can get to someone's heart)
I carefully removed the Darkness
Clustered like crabs in his wound
...now he's got a couple more years

And I, I stabbed a man, mom
I stabbed a man and
They won't send me to jail.
