Blood-Stained Beauty

there stands a girl
alone in the world
cut off from all she's ever known
but behind those eyes
something so powerful...

beneath all the lies
there is a bloodlust
beneath the throbbing of her heart
beats crimson betrayal
she is stronger
than she lets them know

and the light shining
proof of tomorrow
is dimmed and distorted
by the shadow emanating
from those cold, endless eyes

in the wake of disaster
this single figure
stands up to conquer
despite all she's seen

the despair shows apparent
even through her solid silver walls
and thorns around her heart

she's created this world
for no one to ever see
ignoring her darkest desire

and to release the tension
would cause her to break
shattering from the stress
pulled taut across her chest

silencing her voice again
fading to a glimmer
just an echo...

wrapped in evanescent silk
breating in the soul-less night
drinking in her lover's blood
and transforming in eternal beauty

the life she has chosen
this is to be her fate
and not a single word of complaint
will escape those tender red-stained lips

for she knows who she is
and what she has become
no turning around...

for the silence
all-consuming
will embrace her loving entity

afterlife will gladly welcome her
warm in adoration

her silver-tinted tears
fall shimmering to the sky
colliding with suffering
even though she tried so hard

to let go, to love
to make them proud
collapsing within

giving up the oxygen
surrounding, giving life
floating to rest in cyan [false] peace
and drowning in her sorrow

she blames herself for it all
tried to make it right
can't hear the words to make it better
only the darkest night
