Marissa Burts Jan 2013

There will be no flash of blinding light,
But instead the whole eternal night,
To which I give my darkened soul.
And to my vampire prince in whole,
I promise to love him forever more.
From love's bittersweet core,
I swear to always be by his side,
Young and dead a vampire"s bride.

Weeping

Marissa Burts Jan 2013

Weeping

Your tears
My own sweet agony
How I cannot say how it hurts me
To see your life puddled in your hands
Your tears of anguish and hate
Meant for those around us
Never knowing how it damages my heart
To see what they have done to you
To see you weeping
In your hands
Causes me to weep with you too.

Everchanging

Everchanging

~Everchanging~

       Love binds us all
In agony,
the joy
the pain
the fear
         The greatest taste
    Of holy things-
Suddenly so
Clear
              Hate smothers us all
Darkness,
The indifference,
The despair,
           The uncontrollable rage
The darting glances
        From knowing enemies
Feeling like a
Cage

People were created to be loved
Things were created to be used
The reason why the world is in chaos
Is because things are being loved
And people are being used

*I do not take credit for this----I do not know where or when this was said, but I felt it needed to be said.

Broken

Marissa Burts Jan 2013

Broken

Broken

Bones Break
Life Shattered
Letting go of all that mattered

Hope Dies
No longer feel
Is this all truly real?

Ice Cold
Breathing Fast
Trying not to remember the past

Head Pounds
Blood Flows
As the world around me slows

Life

Life

Disaster
A common thing
Tragedy
A deadly thing
Love
A sinister thing
Hate
A violent thing
Together
You get something known as
Life

— The End —
