BloodLust

For David - Oct. 12, 2008

Have I lost my love
Or have I lost my mind
Have I given up
What is left to find
A game that is played
By the master of the art
A promise that was broken
Shattered like my heart
Drifting in troubled slumber
Waking with the darkened sun
Silence deafened my ears
Broken by her moan
Separated by a thin wall
To her, yourself you gave
In the early hours of dawn
You defiled the love we made
You told me she was nothing
That it's just a little game
But can you call it a summer shower
When you face the hurricane
The darkness beckons me
Calls out into my soul
It embraces my despair
And keeps my hatred whole
The tempest blows fierce
Its winds surrounding me
Understanding of revenge
Comforting this raging need
My soul consumed by fire
To exact a punishment just
To quench my hot thirst
And satisfy my bloodlust
To hear the hear the heartbeat fade
See the final breath drawn
Bring an end to the days
This is for what I long
Violence has become my friend
Vengance to comfort the scorned
Such blatant disrespect as this
Cannot, WILL not be borne
I know when you look at me
What you see inside
Is that darling sweetness
Of your delicate Butterfly
The thing you do not see
Is the dragon within
The love turned to bitterness
The fight that I must win
Those tangled blonde curls
The tarnished nose stud
Oh, what would I give
To see them glisten with blood
To rip her apart
Can I? I must
It's the only thing to quench
This overwhelming bloodlust
You see me as timid
And yet how I will fight
You say you've done nothing wrong
But your actions are far from right
How is it possible
To love you with all I am
Yet hate you with a passion
That causes my soul to be damned
Last I saw you, looked in your eyes
A flame burning bitter blue
The tears I fought back
As you tore my heart in two
Do you truly believe in your heart
That you are justified
Laying in the arms of another
When I was promised as your bride
You've destroyed our future
Killed the tenderness I held
You've ruined everything
Condemned my life to Hell
Perhaps I can bring it back
Breathe new life into the ashes and dust
Ease this wretched pain
And overcome this BloodLust
