Bittersweet Lullaby

By Invisibledarkness

Sweet like wine,
Your love so devine.
Beautiful like angels,
In your heart I'm entangled.
Your loving kiss,
Filling me full of bliss...

The lights go out,
You begin to scream and shout.
You pull a knife from the drawer,
You cut your wrists and fall to the floor.
Dead you lay before me,
Alone I scream in agony.

How could it come to this?
To pure Hell from perfect bliss!
I'm alone...
The pain inside never shown.
No one can hear me scream,
Wake me from this fucking dream!

Where did I go wrong?
SilenceĀ seems to be a never ending song.
The angel's cry...
Now becomes the perfect lullaby.
Why do I still live,
With nothing else to give?

You left me in loneliness,
As I watched you lie in a blood covered dress...
So now it's my turn,
To take this life and watch it burn...
Finally, I end this foolish strife,
As I sit in the fire alone with your knife.

    It hurts when your left alone when someone is gone. The pain inside sometimes hard to gone. But we live each day, some how find away. the Romeo and Juliet complex is all to familier to us who lose someone close. This is an awesome write and I hope you find that, which you so painfully lost again. write on:)
