Nemo Malus Felix — A poem
They said Nemo Malus Felix,
And I swear to God that it’s true.
Especially when I think of
All those things
You made me do.
I can’t sleep for more than an hour,
Before the nightmares start.
Before ev-er-y terrible thing
I’ve done
Is nailed into my heart.
If only I’d told you I wouldn’t,
But my lust had sealed my fate.
I was desperate to feel you inside me.
Strange
That now I only hate.
I know that I shouldn’t have killed her,
You were evil to tease me that night.
And to laugh as her blood flowed around me…
You’re a devil,
In that she was right.
I know peace does not visit the guilty mind,
Every day is a dantean curse
But to know you still lived in the same world as me,
That my love, that my love,
Would be worse.
