Killing Cassie

The first time I laid eyes on you
I knew right from the start
You and I we were meant to be together;
Two souls that shared a heart.
But then as I approached you, your eyes widened in alarm.
I wrapped my hands around your throat to stop the screams,
I never meant you harm.
I pulled you close to comfort you,
But you struggled to get away,
And when you sank your teeth into me.
I bit back with the blade.
I’ve got to get you out of my system
The next time that I saw your face, I felt my spirits rise.
You were all alone, across the moonlit street, and I saw heaven in your eyes.
But the tragic ending to our last encounter
Was still fresh in my mind,
So I turned my mistakes into lessons learned,
And I approached you from behind.
I stayed in the shadows and kept my distance;
I sat for hours outside your home.
And when you finally turned the lights out,
I slipped into your room.
I’ve got to get you out of my system
I tried so hard to get over you, but I saw you almost every day.
A thousand times we started over,
Yet the ending never changed.
We’d meet by chance and fall in love,
Our storybook ending unfulfilled.
Your denial of my love for you
Always seemed to get you killed.
But the love we share won’t be denied.
No, you and I were meant to be.
Not even death can break the bonds we share;
We’ll be together for eternity.
I’ve got to get you out of my system
By the time police caught up to me,
“The most prolific killer of all time,”
I’d cut your life short 98 times and I was working on 99.
They said it was pure luck that put an ending to my spree,
But I won’t stop until you’re mine for good,
So come meet your destiny.
I’ve got to get you out of my system
I’m moving on.
