Corruption of a Pure Soul

By Midnight Shadow

I watch the world pass me by,
Peering into this deep puddle of red.
Your face appears on the surface.
Gazing up at me, you smile.
Your smile holds nothing but seduction.
I look into your eyes, suddenly lost in their depth.
You hold out your hand, and I look at it.
It's covered with the tainted red color,
So much like the rest of the world.
I look down at my own skin,
So clean and untouched by all that is wrong.
A drop of the red touches my skin,
Forever tainting what was once pure.
One drop is never enough,
I take your hand and you pull me in.
You gaze into my eyes for a few seconds,
Then capture my lips with yours.
Backing me up against a wall,
I can't escape you now.
It's time for you to finish what you started,
The corruption of a pure soul.

    This conjures up a vision of a math teacher that was at my school last year. He was such a fag, but you just couldn't help noticing that he liked checking out the 14 year old girls in his class..lol great write anyway. =)

    Finish what you started...I like that line. Corruption starts as soon as you begin to learn. Once you learn something, your entire life has been changed.~Mikey
