The Daughter At Night

by manic moments   Nov 6, 2006


Shared, that's what I am
The shared daughter of the damned
See the marks, near or far
Across the thighs are my home made jail bar

Who'd of known my heart was black
And that the devil left drawings on my back
Heated words, blazed eyes
And now you know my sordid lies

HATE I wrote one little night
Bleeding the word, not a pretty sight
See me now, see me shared
Show me the devil, the only to have cared

Damned, I am damned to the time
Lost without my scars, feel to sublime
Wrote, and wrote, horror to the page
Across my arm, the living stage

Day and night, the damned I see
Come to bed, they call to me
No more shall I see you today
And leave me alone with my rotting decay

Time and time, I see the light
Drifting away from me tonight
Who speak my name, who look for me?
The devil is looking for me

The jail bar are moving further up my leg
And now I cannot stop from what I beg
Shiver, whisper, nothing anymore
Call to me at the shore

Heading my way
I see the damned of the day
Try, try, try again to win
Burned, scarred, crossed on my skin

Hate me, hate me, now and forever
Call to me in the hells ever
Day and night I wonder not
A pierced heart to not have shot

Dime a dozen are the cuts
Grounded are the joint butts
Care not, not, not today
Bare me nothing, I see no day

Not a professional
Someone more questionable
Don't know me, the damned are my life
The home made jail bar without a knife

Tucked into the devil's flaming pocket
The crimson red hair, could you spot it?
My hair ablaze with red and black flames
The devil's own daughter put to shame

See me now, chained to the bed
See my image inside your head
The devil, my father, my own flesh and blood
Turned out to be nothing more then a moronic dud

The damned, my family, my life
The jail bar, without a knife
Time and time you call me right
But wait till you see me late at night

    This is a story turned into a poem. You amaze me with your skill and finesse at using words and rhythm to dramatacize and describe everything. I really like it.
