You Sacred Sinners

This is an old piece written for GCSE english. I was quite enamored with Havisham at the time and so this character is quite similar in that she is stuck in time

I'd rather be lost in my insanity

Than trapped in your fantasy

Of happily ever afters

and lies

You lie! You all lie. You sacred sinners!

You selfish saints.

I see you

Mocking me with your eyes

The starlight is no more than a reminder

That I am still living.

Here is my place of peace.

Oh what tormenting peace

The bitter cold may bite me

Let all the world fight me

God may spit on me and jeer

and laugh at my name

her eyes dance with wicked flame

Maddening, wrathful, rabid, alive.

You cannot take me!

Do not beckon me to heaven

Where angels dwell

For I shall only kick you and bite you

And scratch

And as Satan fell so shall I

And burn in the flames of hell for it

And I shall be glad.

The tongues of fire shall be a comfort to me

As perhaps I have shown you

The pain one so small can feel

I am nothing in the world

And the world nothing to me

You took my world

With your taunting words within the wind

No mercy at her gasps for air

Her frantic kicks

You did not relent.

No chance. No hope.

Thought provoking piece.
I am amazed by its flow.
