A Soul Not Thy Own

Tears of anger burn my flesh, like a candles wax sliding down the shaft.

I have only myself to blame for this.

I strayed from my path,

Ignored my reasoning and logic,

Forsaken all the lessons taught over the centuries,

For what?

A human?

I was led astray for one of them.

So this prison I now lay within,

Trapped in its hollows,

Was because of myself,

I trapped myself within this cage like an animal,

I let my blindness over come my clarity,

I trusted the lies that were so clear like lightning in a darkened sky,

Now for my own betrayal upon my soul,

It dies within the hollows of my vessel,

Shriveling till it becomes dried and decayed,

I am the reason for my death,

Not any other,

For I led my soul straight to the devil next door.

I allowed my self to be selfish in my desires,

And now I must pay with not my blood,

Not my flesh,

But with this torn and ragged soul,

A soul that shall never again see the light within this darkend realm,

For I am the cause of my own damnation,

And now I see clear with all eyes open.,

The error of my ways,

As I am laid upon this bloody alter,

As the knife rushes towards me,

I know now the mistake of love,

The mistake I will never again allow to reoccur,

As the blade rams within my chest,

As the chains of servitude bound me to this alter,

I now lay within my own deed.

Forever to be reminded of my own wrong doings.
