The Mortal Instruments

A poem inspired by The Mortal Instruments trilogy.

There once was a boy

Who lived in a frozen world

And he loved few

Only those who raised him

 

One day,

The boy met

A girl

Who lit his world on fire

 

The boy

Fell in

Love

With the girl

 

The girl

Fell in

Love

With the boy

 

But then came

That fateful day

When they discovered

Their lives had been a lie

 

The boy and

The girl

Found out

That they were siblings

 

Their father

Was an evil man

Who was trying

To take over the world

 

And so

The boy and

The girl

Lived

 

But they were

Never happy

Because they were in

Love

 

But their

Love

Was

Forbidden

 

‘Incest’

Their

Love

Was called

 

And so

The boy and

The girl

Hid their feelings

 

And so

The girl

Started to

Date

 

And the boy,

The girl’s brother,

Felt like his heart was being torn out

Every time he saw his sister and her boyfriend

 

Because he was

Still in

Love

With his sister

 

And so

The girl

Felt her heart ache

Every time her brother kissed another girl

 

Because she was

Still in

Love

With her brother

 

Because the boy and

The girl

Had once been in

Love

 

Every time the boy and

The girl

Saw each other

They felt their old passion flair

 

Until

The boy

Couldn’t stand it

Any longer

 

And he

Kissed

The girl,

His sister

 

And

The girl

Kissed

Him back

 

And then the boy and

The girl

Discovered that their father had

Once experimented on them

 

He gave

The boy

Some

Demon blood

 

And he gave

The girl

The blood

Of an angel

 

The boy

Felt

Evil

And hateful

 

The girl

Discouraged

The boy

From thinking these thoughts

 

And

The boy

Stopped speaking the thoughts

Aloud

 

But

The boy

Still

Thought them

 

Finally came

The day where the boy and

The girl

Had to fight their father

 

And the boy and

The girl

Were told

That they were not really brother and sister

 

They

Were

So

Happy

 

They

Were

Still in

Love

 

They

Killed

Their

‘Father’

 

For the

Good

Of the

World

 

And the boy and

The girl

Could finally

Be together
