Darker places

Today I nearly did it I almost took their life.i almost cut their throats with my shiny silver knife. it wasn't Fear of prison  that stopped its deadly ark but the turning of a light switch I work best in the dark. I can tell by there faces that they've fallen for my mask and will never see me coming their friend until the last. I'm really looking forward to the horror on their face when I remove the mask of friendship and  show them my real face. they'll cry and beg for mercy but the crying just can't last. their tongues I'll take with pliers their eyes I'll save for last. when the final tear has fallen and life has slipped their grasp. I'll  dream of darker places and put back on my mask.
