Counterparts - Unwavering Vow

Beneath my bared teeth lives the unwavering vow: to be the reason that the ones who love you mourn. Revel in relief, redemption reassured: when not even your ghost will be left to take your place on earth. In dreams I watched you die, now I can't wait to close my eyes. Encased within your grave, deservingly enslaved where no echo will emerge. Former prey decides your fate, crying out to a world that couldn't hear your final words. If I could, I'd murder you myself. Penance will persuade me to venture from vengeance and repress the hunger in me for revenge. Caress of consequence assures my innocence. Your self-inflicted suffering will satisfy my thirst.
