Before the Times Have Come to Kill

By SaintNHB

I'm ridiculed by the constant reminder of a beauty lost
A heart that beats so low in frost
Eyes that kill painfully in lovers glance
Seductive language in ballroom dance

Distant memories still bleed
Angel face that flashes greed
Any man will fall into her lies
False pity, when she cries

Wicked blood runs through her veins
Black ash from death flutters overhead
Yet, her beauty I cannot disdain
Through all the time I never rest

-Saint

    If looks could kill...sometimes we don't need words to communicate (part of our animal inheritance). Interesting.
