A corporeal visage rests Upon your broken soul Hardened Chilled by eternity Blinding fury quieted Leaving now Only emptiness.... Raging scarlet soaked Upon icy skin The crimson luster surreal Slowly streaming Robbing innocent life Calm yourself It is only a nightmare.... Bright lights harshly blare Robotic voices speak You do not understand You are closed Unable to respond Shackled in steel chains As freedom is now sacrificed.... Her voice whispers to you A flutter of moth wings Tormenting Wanting you to feel the pain She felt By your cruel hand As one word seals your fate.... The whisper of her Remains locked within you As a single needle Delivers horrid punishment Your screams fade As the poison seeps And revenge is just beginning.... ------------------ *Krista Knutson* "If my heart had wings, I would fly to you and lie beside you as you dream....." ~Faith Hill: If My Heart Had Wings~ [This message has been edited by Alwye (edited 11-24-1999).] |

I like the darkness, and the description. Hmm... Torment, could this have to do with being stuck with relatives, or is that just me?  Anyways, great piece, Krista.------------------ "Human pride sings a vengeful song, inspired by the times you've been walked on" - Creed - "What If" |
