Linens
By Belle
I would set a flame
To devour every memory of you
Distiguish the candle
Left to burn for your souls desires
Coveting to fail you
In my heart I know I can't succeed.
My beloved child
I know I was not the creator
You would beg for
I would leave you crude and
Eager for a lover
Destined to be a sinner-
This was my only choice
You were my only choice
I let this massecre come.
My hands in scarlet
Shining like your smile would have
Commanding me to let go
Asking me to ignore what you would have been
How could I ever know
I would despise myself for this
I would look at my belly in disgust
Only I would have this animosity
Only I would hold this on my shoulders
I would bear these terrors in the night-
I would set a flame
To bury myself alive
Distinguish this crime that I harbor
But I could never forget.
I will always think of her.

That last line softens the whole piece, as I started to read, I felt disgust...but the conflict that last line causes changes it completely. nicely done *~seraph~*
