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).] |

Enjoyed this very much. Had a nervous laugh in the 2nd verse Calm yourself It is only a nightmare.... -RS ------------------ There must be some kinda way out of here... say the joker to the thief There's to much confusion, I can't get no relief - Hendrix |
