This Beautiful Thing

Darling, you are beautiful. Your boyfriend? Not so much.

It is a funny thing
How much you've hurt me, deeply, badly
Believe me, I felt the sting
But you are not victorious today!
Or ever-
And now look at you, in stages of decay
As they bury you in the ground forever
But I shall dig you up, darling
And pick your ribs clean, you disgusting dirty bird
Exhumation of your earthen face, bones white, snarling
The visage of your beauty blurred
I will keep your bones for a while
A memento of your loss, my gain

Forever alone with your gaping smile
A love long lusted, a love long slain
But it is of no consequence
I will crush your bones to dust
To forget you, my new found clairvoyance
To slake and revel in my victory, I must

--That was brilliant. The bitter promise in that is definitely biting, but it fits well with the piece. Alas, parting with someone can never be bitter or sweet. It's usually both, hm? Great job!

Wow! Nice stuff. It somewhat reminds me of something the killer Ed Gein, the inspiration for psycho would say. I can also hear a touch of Poe in there somewhere as well. Nice, creative, and a little spell binding too. Great work.

Hmmm " I will keep your bones for a while... A memento of your loss" a crow as a wonderful thoughtful bone collector :) I love this dark piece full of temptation to do the things, you must... in the end. You write so beautiful! :)
