The New Buffalo Bill

I skinned a heavenly angel,
One with long dark hair,
I battered her with my bitterness,
Till she was beaten bare.

I pulled apart her snow white hide,
And cured it with my scorn.
For when I die, I'll go to hell,
For hell is where I'm born.

So I'll make a suit of angel,
I'll put her hair upon my head,
Pretend the beauty on my back,
Isn't really dead.

For this angel that I'm wearing,
Is the only hope in me,
That I will live amongst the good,
And be so heavenly.

But while I stand in my disguise,
The stench of rot leaks through,
And that is why I'll never be,
An angel just like you.

If you don't get the title, watch "Silence of the Lambs"

It's got a demented killer (aka: Buffalo Bill) who steals large women, starves them till they're thin with saggy loose skin, then kills them so he can use their skin to make his "woman suit."

It's where I got the idea for this wonderfully twisted piece.

PS: Don't worry I don't have any Bufalo Bill-like tendancies, I just needed to be mad for a while and write something that wasn't pretty, wasn't happy, wasn't even sad...just twisted, pointless, and jaded.
