I shot a man when i was sixteen.

I looked him straight in the eye, and pulled the trigger. 
I left him with a gaping hole in his head to match the one in my heart.

       I slept with a strange man, then later his wife.

       I cut my chest open and watched the blood flow from it like a river.
I was told that this would cleanse the evil from me. 

I was alone. 

I saved a kid from drowning in a lake.

I gave a complete stranger the clothes (no longer) on my back,

walked down the street completely naked. 

      Never was there a heavier burden lifted.

       I cut my chest open tonight, and watched the flowers grow from my rotting corpse.
I bleed out the evil that never existed.
I was never alone.
