the killer

[thetimeisnigh]

the people around me
seem to fade
as time goes by.

and sometimes i wonder
if it is me or them
who have died.

there's a killer inside me.
i know it.
i feel it.
i dread it.

and he kills those who
get too close
and go too far.

it's sad to see the people go,
disappearing,
vanishing into nothing.

yet there's a thirst that hungers.
hungers for what
i do not know.

the hunger to kill?
to stab? to vanquish?
this may be so.

there's a killer inside me.
don't come too close
or go too far.
