We danced that night, under a killing moon.
Inconstant love was our only lament.
In our hearts we knew that dawn comes too soon.
Desperation was all too apparent.

Did I truly tire of this world's demands?
Eyes shining, she asks if I can do it.
She put the cold steel into my hands.
If you love me, she said, you would prove it.

I put the gun to the side of her head.
Smiling for me, she looked up with a sigh.
I pulled the trigger and knew she was dead.
I watched the light of life dim in her eye.

Now I run from myself desperately.
I had not the strength to turn it on me.

You my friend, have an intensly chilling imagination. The horrors other's feel when things go bump in the night, must seem as mere drivel to you.
Amazing!

Dang, Dream,
This is an epic warpped up in a sonnet.
Speaks volumes. Definately one of your best.

And so, being young and dipt in folly
I fell in love with melancholy,
But dreams - of those who dream as I,
Aspiringly, are damned, and die:
