Intrusive Thoughts

by Videl Sky

Since I was young, it’s never just been me -

A demon sings sweet sins into my ear.

To hand it the reigns, say yes, just agree,

Let it sing to my family - let them hear.

That the knife that slices my wedding cake

Should be piercing deep in my heart instead,

The crowd would gasp as I’d wilt on that stake -

I’d wager the dress would look lovely red.

I stood on a bridge as the warm wind blew,

My husband’s hand held mine tight as I dreamed.

For a jiff, I pictured taking him too,

Then he kissed me, its murmurs turned less keen.

I burned to hold my babe just once, no fear -

Still the demon sang, “Come now, just throw her~”
