“Let’s murder someone together
We’ll have to completely trust each other
And it’ll make us different forever
It’ll prove our love, just give it a thought”
‘But what if we get caught?’
“Come on young man, live dangerously
We’ll kill a random person we don’t know personally
So the detectives don’t trace it back to us”
I’d often wondered how it would feel
For a normal person to kill someone
And I’d also wondered whether
I could get away with murder
I believe it had all started with a question-
‘How were we to test our love?’
I suggested a runaway wedding
But rather than agreeing to wed,
Lying in bed, giving head,
Raising hers, “Murder”, she said
Ever so nonchalantly
As if she were suggesting that Italian restaurant we go to
‘Let’s order palazzo spaghetti and a life to go with it’
But just hearing her that afternoon
I realized I had turned a corner
I had made a choice
I had felt something change inside me
And still, I thought
If I commit murder,
Would my hand shudder?
