The Sinners Last Impression

Although I take the punishment, you made it come to this It's all your fault I took the knife and plunged it in your chest The final, heated moment before you met your demise Tainted with your love for her, humility and lies You think that I am happy now? Is that what you believe? Apart from feeling numb, I'm clutching nothing but relief Comforted that my arms were the last ones your hands touched I never could keep hold of you, I never was enough I knew this time was different, I could see it in your face Your cheeks had lost their pallor, eyes as wide as space And this time, I had lost you, I knew I'd never win That's why I had to carve your heart from underneath your skin I couldn't find another way to make a last impression and make sure that your cheating heart was kept in my possession Then as your just-dead body bleeds, sprawled out on the stone Peace and solice seep in, for at last, you sleep alone 27th January 2016

Jodie, this is a "vicious" take on the "wages of sin is death" mantra. The opening couplet "hooked" me and drew me in....and the last couplet....viscious. Thanks for participating in the contest.
