The deepest of all ugliness lingers within
Pressed tight against my bones and skin
It rips apart the flesh upon it
Like the moral decay that I may die within

The evil of beauty tempts my eyes and hands
To wretch away all that is worth loving and adore
So the angels, too, can walk within my disaster
And watch me bleed all that is worth loving and adore

Pain! But what is it
The liquid residue from your eyes
The red tears that you bleed
Or the banshee cries and woes less seething

Nay, it is you and I
All of our reflections upon the mirror
And the feelings that are never there
It is the you and I that were never, lest forever, there

Love is only an excuse to hurt and to get hurt... Knowledge brings ye fear.

Hello, and welcome. This may be the first I've read of you, but won't be the last.

Very powerful piece, laden with meaning and symbolism that goes beyond its deceptively simple form. Superb.

Thank you, Night. I wasn't quite sure about this one, but now I am. Thanks.
