Perpetual Black Second


Trapped in a ceaseless fever of spite,
an unending fit of resentment and anger
caught in a moment of unforgiveness
in the snapshot of a hatefilled second
The speedless flickering of uncomprehending eyes
-dialated in disbelief
your vacant gaze distorted
twisted in its accusing glare
Teeth glimmering in emotional rage
spit of hate suspended mid-air
bodies strained in fury
devoured by jaws of despair
One single image frame i wish to forget
now replayed in succession of millions
the one second i will always regret
-my hell found in its reiteration
Held within the visualization,
the continuous rerun of my own violence
a fraction of time perpetuated
by my regretful soul animated
Please forgive the evil in me
-the darkness within
ferocious, inherent demon
adrenaline gland resident
Threatened subconscious snake
repressed into striking coil
surfacing that black second
ascending with the boil
