Dark Revenge

by Void   Dec 9, 2005


From the creases of my skin,
Shines my demon trapped within.
It carries sorrow, heartbreak, laughter.
It carries most my mortal sin.

He broke his heart along with mine,
He stole my faith, my hope, my mind,
I needed someone who could wait for me,
And his lack of strength had crossed the line.

In anger I searched for final revenge,
But never had I wished for a life to end.
I picked up that gun, just to scare him a bit,
Then deeper into his chest the bullet descends.

He now lies alone on the floor,
Blood spilling from his core.
My soul wants to follow his,
But I don't deserve heaven anymore.

My hands are cold, my eyes just the same,
As I hold his smile in a picture frame.
I look at what lies infront of me now,
The smile he had is left crippled and lame.

The feeling of death mists in the air,
I have taken a life for reasons unfair.
Holding the gun with one bullet left,
Taking my life is my personal dare.

I repaid my debt with my own flesh and bone,
And still I linger with earth as my home.
My demon will never let me free
Because of the innocent life I stole.

This is by no means a true story, (obvious) but it was inspired by a movie. If you don't understand it, let me know and I'll fix it - or atleast explain it to the best of my ability. As for the new rhyme scheme, that's just me trying some more new things. Hope it still works alright hehe.
