Jeffery Dahmer Poem by Naomi Waters
Jeffery Dahmer
When I sat next to him in Biology class
I never could sense his hunger
I couldn't imagine who he would become
A serial killer
Raping, murdering, and tearing apart seventeen men
The news labeled him the Milwaukee Cannibal
My friends called him a monster
I knew him as a friend
A friend I stole glances at
Whom I wanted to love
Killed in his cell
I know I can't condone his actions
That doesn't stop me from being sorry
Sorry because my love could never have quenched him
I was just the girl in biology
And you were just the boy
The boy who sat next to me
Who at one time caught my eye
Goodbye Jeffery

I have a weird Jeffery Dahmer story. I had a book about him on my book shelf for several years that I had never looked at. Late one night when I couldn't sleep, I picked it up and read it. When I turned on the TV that morning I saw he had just be killed in prison that very night. Kind of weird, huh?
That is really weird but kinda cool, I performed a prose piece in my drama class which that piece is in my description, but the piece I performed inspired me to write this.
