Bitter Sweet Revenge {Double Ottava Rima}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Sep 4, 2006


I will give you a bitter sweet revenge;
Faceless tears streaming down a beautiful face.
Lies telling truthful stories to avenge
Leaving love, malice, and choice without a trace.
Stab beautiful lies with a bloodied syringe,
Listen; reprisal as you leave from this place.
I will give you a revenge bitter sweet
So malicious and cold that will meet your defeat...

I will give you a bitter sweet revenge -
Colored, thoughtful hopes will carry across the sky,
Losing against your fight to the end.
Forgetting the time against your shallow cry.
The fire asset will burn, die, singe,
Letting you fall as the world around lies.
Noticing your silent vindictiveness,
Seeking much ignorance of your forgotten bliss.
