Dark Premonition

I've seen you once, holding that blade Everything around you in crimson shade. Speak now demon and answer me. What atrocities have you committed, what tragedy? Why so angry, you it doesn't suit, Festering over there like some rotting fruit. You admire my blade, as well you should, Stained in the blood of your brood. How dare you, vile creature, what have you done? That evil smile on your lips, you consider your deeds fun? Do you find pleasure in causing others pain? Then rot, foul beast, in foul disdain. Indignified are you, self righteous fool. Slander me all you want with whatever verbal tool. But I ask you now, look at where I lurk And see if you don't recognize your own handywork. What accusation is this? Foul tongued devil, what slander do you hiss? Are your foul deeds not enough to satiate your needs? Are you so much a coward you blame me for your deeds? Is this to be your final piece? Speak now, or forever hold your peace. Are you that blind, that you cannot see. Look closer, friend, and you'll find that you are me. You speak badly of me, but you're much worse. For you yourself wrought this curse. By your own acts, you created me. Now blood is shed, you are the cause of this tragedy. Those eyes, how can it be those eyes? The same hopes, fears, and cries. No, demon, I will not fall for your trick! This must be some lie, you cannot make it stick. Lie, you say, but how can that be so? That is even beyond my power, that much you know. If you must know, I am your creation. Each slaughter is the result of your elation. You recognize me now? I am what you will become. Your own foolishness makes you grow numb. That look of horror on your face Tells me that my words have finally found their place. You know the reason And know your actions will bring the change of your season. "No!" I cry as I wake up. In my bed I find myself, scared like a little lost pup. Happily I realize it was just a dream Until the mirror's reflection nearly makes me scream. The dark silhouette stands there laughing, My ill fated future it is graphing. I understand now the warning and must take heed. A moment of indiscretion and pleasure, I must never commit this deed. If I do, that innocence will be forever lost, And this can never happen, no matter what the cost. But there is one person who is my greatest enemy. The person I must fight to keep this from happening is... me. Written March 5th, 2002 © on Mar 16 2002 02:16 AM PST   10 • 0
