Unexpected guest

Entering my room
While hearing the news
“Teenager escaped after killing her family”
Interesting I said while leaning towards the door

taking a look, I see
A photo of her
Her the beautiful lost tourist
The picture is clear now

She is not lost
She is not a tourist
She is a local one
A bad one in society’s eye

While she’s taking a bath
I lay my plan
She suspects nothing

syringe in hand ready to attack
with a frisson of excitement, I wait

she’s out of the bath

with eyes wide open
the homicide shrieked
needle half in
she swedges for her sentient state

unconscious on the floor
I drag her body away
To the place where people
People like her will feel again

behind the house
there lies the mouse
“go back nothing here”
What a lie

The secret underground
Will keep anyone on the ground
Dreams won’t come true here
All is broken, I’m broken and you’re broken

But worry not I’ll fix you
These were the last
The few words she heard
As she struggles to gain consciousness
