Euphoria

I need to know everything.
My mind races just thinking
about him and his demon.
'Silas, you can tell me,
I promise to keep it
to myself.'

He reaches over and
grabs my hand. He is
cold to the touch.
“You promise not to
judge me, or think
of me as a monster?”

I would never.
He is no monster.
He is my savior.
He is my everything.
'I promise Silas,
you can trust me.'

“I brutally murdered
my father and step-mother.
They were pure evil.
They made me do things.
So I made them beg
for their lives.”
