Analysis of Smile Vengeance



At times, It's quite amusing
Watching as you squirm.
Taking in my happiness
Which makes your iced blood burn.

You know? It may be cruel of me,
But I can't help but smile
Every time I see your pain,
Brutality is worth while.

I suppose it's due to how
Deceitful you have been.
The cold blades you've plunged
In my back are fuel for all my sins.
