    Sadistic

    I'm crawling through this desert,
    Drinking blood and bone,
    I have wandered off the path,
    I cannot find my home,
    Will you reach a hand to me,
    And take me from this place,
    Where evil floats upon the wind,
    Yet leaves behind no trace,
    Will you save my soul today,
    Or do you love to see,
    The devil and his toothy grin,
    Consuming all of me.

    ASHES AND WINE

    The perfect sound of her untamed violin
    Sinking into the night's most direful silence,
    A music meant to pierce the deepest whim,
    Compositions to awake an unleashed vengeance...

    The pure child playing couldn't be another...
    But an innocent angel,with hair pinned butterflies,
    Black curls that seemed to hide a chimeric water
    That reflected in her cold blue aggrieved eyes...

    A blast of wind has sent the music far and wide
    And he, the blood-curdling creature of the shadows
    Had felt the thrill within his heart long time denied;
    The emotions flowed like a garden of echoes...

    His white fangs reflected the pale moon light,
    His immortality was his addictive burden...
    But the violin choruses he heard were so bright
    That attracted him to the house by music poisoned...

    A couple of hours to dawn,he entered the mansion...
    Charmed by the girl's music,entwined in her eyes,
    The vampire listened and smiled with passion..
    He had no choice but leave as he felt the sunrise...

    The girl just couldn't let him go astray
    And played the most grievous and cruel song,
    As the vampire's blood tears couldn't fade away...
    Memories about his human life,melancholy felt so strong..

    Immortality,the loneliness he had locked within his soul
    Was ended, as he left himself prey to the morning sun
    Stricken by an appallingly divine music written is his eye holes...
    Ashes to ashes for the vampire who felt undone...

    His remnants are still impregnated in her heart
    As the cruel girl plays her hell raising violin
    While she pours wine on the ashes of her sweetheart
    To reminisce the blood he drank to be his sin...

    ~I wrote this for another recent contest, hopr u're ok with that. If not, tell me so that i can replace my poem please ^^. Thanks for the understanding.

    On Bended Knee

    If you could see inside my soul
    I'm afraid you'd turn away
    The pieces aren't quite as whole
    As they were yesterday.

    I am my own worst enemy
    It's been that way for years.
    I do things wrong, then feel bad
    But still fail to fight the fears.

    I tell myself to get over it
    To move on and try again
    But I'm warring with myself
    So I can never really win.

    When will the chaos please stop
    When can I gain my soul
    I'm so tired of being a reckless case
    Whose lost all self-control.

    I want to do so much better
    But I find myself tangled in bad
    When will I realize it's harmful
    And run from it all like mad?

    I'm down on my knees, head bent
    Praying for forgiveness again
    I feel like I'll never do the right
    But those are the thoughts of sin.

    So I look to you for an answer
    And pray you see my despair
    My heart has left me condemned
    But I know that you must still care.

    That's why I'm hoping your love
    Will outweigh the things I have done.
    I want to start anew, stop the bad
    And say it's a battle I've won.

    So I'm begging with my last breath
    Please notice this trodden down soul
    I need you now, (though I've said it before)
    I want...no I need....to feel whole.

    I'm sorry for what my past says
    And what the present still sees
    But I promise I'm trying harder
    That's why I'm on bended knees.
