Where has your mind retreated to these days?
Where I once saw a heart, a demon lays
And likewise are your eyes beneath a glaze.
I do not know you now! You've changed your ways.
Your hands once reaped a multitude of friends
But now they beat, no plans to make ammends.
The shiver that your snake-like staring sends!
Oh! Say this isn't where the story ends!
For should it be, I fear what bards will tell -
You laughing as the reaper tolls his bell?
Still monstrous, still beneath this demon-spell?
Do you not fear the licking flames of hell?

Liked the flow and the rhythm and rhyme in these lines. Interesting writing a play - one of the characters will be saying these lines I imagine. Keep writing. Good luck.

i love this piece. i usually hate rhyme and structure, i'm a free spirit so free verse is my thing. but you do this so well, and i love how it's like looking back in my high school literature book. very classic.
