I have lost my mind

I scream your name

But you don't hear me. 

I need you to understand

What my mind is doing to me. 

I am unable to explain

Why I want so badly to kill you,

Squeeze your throat until I feel your pule halt,

Tears streaming down my face

Because I don't truly want you to die. 

I do not wish to end your life

But my mind keeps telling me,

That I have no choice. 

It pains me to poison your water,

To wait until you sleep. 

It keeps telling me to take the pillow

And press it to your face.

Tears well up,

And roll down my cheeks 
As I see what I've done. 

The voice quiets,

Telling me "That's all for now,"

But it's too late.

I no longer control myself.

I have lost the battle for my sanity.
