Empty Screams

Surrounding me, burning me
with eyes of flaming red--
convinced they know how to ease my pain...
Carefully I lead them along,
drowing in a maelstrom of lies...

"Never will they know my name!"
screaming to the empty night:
no one hears my cries...

Many can lead them to water,
but only I can make them drink--
head lolling, eyes glazed,
throwing themselves at my mercy.

But my god is a cruel one,
and he taught me well...

"Blood Master, make them beg and scream!"
no fire in their eyes tonight;
they're hearts beating at my whim...

Once the smoke fades from my vision
then perhaps I'll feel regret.
I just fear the pain,
so I close myself away...

But my walls are slipping now--
my heart takes over once again...

"Black Rose, please end my pain!"
but She just laughs--taunting me--
for She forsees the tears...

    Incredible.
    I loved this poem.
    It seems like a mythical story about a Nymph in some death cult.
    Very, very cool.
    You know what's crazy?
    I had no idea I was on your favorites list.
    Haha.
    Later,
    Georgie.
