Liz And Lilacs Jan 2015

I fought the angels that
tried to save me
and kissed the demons
who stole my soul.
Evil can be so beautiful,
Twisted, haunting,
But so much like myself.
I thought they would save me,
But I was wrong.

Nice is different than good.

Dungeon

Let us leave this place.
It reeks of anger and fear.
The bitter stench of life
disgusts me to no end.
We never asked for this,
but punishment is swift.
No questions asked
when it comes to the end.

Lion heart

Be brave, my dear.
When the world comes
crashing down,
I'll hold your hand.
You can cry on my shoulder,
I've seen far worse in this life.
I will stay strong for you,
For I would never allow
you to see the lion fear.
Life may be stained with my blood,
but not a soul will see my tears,
Nor taste the salt of my pain.

I don't know.

I wonder

They found her body;
At the bottom of the ravine.
Said she jumped in the night,
that she never looked back.

I wonder if anyone ever understood her,
I wonder if they even knew her.
Did they know she was hurting?

They did not care that she was gone.
They closed the case and called her dead,
A text book suicide, no victims remained.
Call the morgue and have her tagged.

I wonder if they knew,
About all those she hurt when
she died and left them behind.

Comfort the sobbing parents,
Watch her sibling misunderstand,
Send the family away,
And never think of her again.

Tired

I stopped sleeping
a long time ago.
Rest is restless,
Dreams are nightmares.

When I bolt awake
in the middle of night,
Not a soul is there to
comfort my screaming mind.

I'm tired of this.
Tired of staying awake,
Tired of fearing sleep,
I've tired of this life.

Innocence

Turn your eyes from the truth
and pretend you know nothing.
Foolish child, the truth cannot be changed.
Forgotten moments, demented lies,
with the fading truth of the matter.
Innocence is a sin.
It's easier that way,
to pretend everything is fine.
How selfish, how childish.
Turn you eyes from the truth,
and sin, eyes wide, naive.
Time waits for no one,
you cannot stay in this simple life.
Innocence is a sin,*
and you can no longer be forgiven
for your ignorance.

Pity for the prey

Creatures of the night,
Seduction in our voices,
My prey caught in a web of lies.
Open your eyes, you naive creature,
I've captivated you with
my enticing words,
But look into my eyes,
See the distance, the coldness.
I am a monster.
You should fear me, and yet,
you allow me to bewitch you.
I have the instincts of a predator,
But I feel sorry for how helpless you are.
Powerless, naive, open your eyes,
See the truth in this monster's facade.

Vampire legends are quite interesting. Beasts in human form.
