She paints a perfect picture
She tells a flawless lie
She sings a song of beauty
A haunting lullaby.
Her song is one of sorrow
A portrait of her life
And those who her are captured
Haunted by her strife.
Her song will leave you crying
Shell wipe away your tears
But compassion is a falsehood
Created over the years.
Her song will penetrate you
A knife straight through your heart
The tune will plague your footsteps
A seductive work of art.
Her lullaby will sooth you
Her song will give you wings
Her mournful voice will trap you
Every time she sings.
Her song is one of anguish
An image of your fate
But you wont know her purpose
Until its far too late
Her acid tears will burn you
Her knives will slash your skin
Her crimson blood will stain you
Forgive you of your sin
Her melody will slay you
Her hymn will let you fly
Her song is flawless sorrow
Deaths haunting lullaby.
"She paints a perfect picture
She tells a flawless lie
She sings a song of beauty
A haunting lullaby."
^^What a beautiful opening, I love these lines, thery're so full of melancholy and emotion and instantly draw the reader right into the piece along with setting the tone for the rest of the poem.
..Well I was going to make my way through the poem..but I'm honestly stuck for words (Which doesn't happen often, if ever =D)
I absolutely adore this piece, you manage to portray so much depth and emotion throughout and the imagery you pain creates vivid pictures for me as the reader.
The flow in this is absolutely flawless, I don't find it to falter once and my favourite part would have to be the closing lines..strong, hard hitting, something that stays with the reader.
