[The Murder of Love] And the time is Nine O’ Clock and you are listening to the news: Vaginated from the eburnean light, Deceit lay in it’s dark cloak, Silence lay upon the streets And cold fear filled the air, Love strolled gracefully, Unaware of those who stalked, Deceit struck from far behind, Bitter words and vengeful lies, Stabbed at his gentle heart And his tears fell as vitriol, As he lay upon the crimson street And as all fell deep azure, The silence on his sweet lips, Betrayed the murderer of love. "I have no strength or the decency in me to be a hero" - Biffy Clyro |

*clap, clap, clap* Very well done. I can relate to it... Others are too in love with the sound of their own voice to speak the truth... |

Okay, I forgot to put this most excellent poem in my library... *sigh* Now that it's in the past, I can give an actual reply. Or not. Wow... I'm just speechless every time I read this. And I've read it like, 20 times or something. Just... I love you sweetie... you know that, right? |
