“I came blood inside of her, choking on the clot, gagging on the snot, gushing blood from her mouth, bloody gel leaking out, Body buried in a shallow grave, unmarked for none to find, The sickness I have left behind, undetected go my crimes, The greatest thrill of my life, to slit my own cock with a knife”
