PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

All love fades as my heart grows grey
A repetitive life lived everyday
And every wanton attempt to break from the norm
Fails tragically as old demons take form
Parasitic wraiths eating at my soul
Frozen tears fall from the beats of my heart
A silent shiver, all warmth turns cold
The fire is smothered, bereft and left in the dark

But now the tides are turning
With the Northern Wind
Apathy consumes my everything
Mindless addiction to carnal sins

Oh god, the voices still plague my head
I can't stand who I am, what the hell have I become?
The tourniquet tightens on my heart
The crimson stains steal the sun
The golden gates to paradise are locked

I must find an escape
Must give up my very soul
All I wanted was everything
If that's the price I'll let it go
The world begins to blur
Schizophrenic Insanity
He appears and offers Her
Lust desire, I beg and plea
He grins, nods, names the price
We shake and the deal is set
Once again I can feel love
Apathy fleeing all sides were met

Grinning insane at the painless charade
With this reality created just for me
From the depths of my heart I give gratitude to thee
My Lord and Savior, Mephistopheles

And now lifetimes have passed
His perfect gift continues to give
Me everything I’ve ever asked
Until the times where I cease to live

Now years locked away, in my head
My Lord comes for his part of the deal
No….. It can’t be, the flames turn red
My eyes grew wide at damnation’s fear
“Judgment day draws nigh, my friend
The bargain we made nearly at end.
At the stroke of twelve your soul is mine
To suffer through the ends of time.”
He spoke his words crystal clear
Everything he gave me is vanishing from sight
In a morbid mind I found naught to be real
All I gave my soul for that haunting night
