Chapter 1 - Death's Bride

Death's Bride



Sitting, alone, and feeling frail

A silver blade dances on skin

It leaves behind a crimson trail

On flesh pale with sorrow and sin



The time has come to leave this world

Eyes opened like never before

Through the incense smoke, pale, and curled

I can see what we exist for



Harsh words echoing `round my head

I doubt you regret screaming them

But pretty soon I will be dead

Will you ask for forgiveness then?



A cut for ev'ry time I cried

A drop of blood for ev'ry tear

The floor streaming with crimson tide

A pool reflecting all my fears



I have not flown in oh-so long

Says the caged bird while he sings

Something you have known all along-

Broken souls have broken wings



“I remember when we first met,

You said you'd love me forever.

But even then the stage was set

For the act …you were so clever…



Now is the time for YOU to fall.

Let the world know you're why I died.

Tell them,” I whisper, “Tell them all.

You're the cause of my SUICIDE!”



You stand there silently seething

I mock you just as quietly

Listen- hear my ragged breathing?

He has finally come for me!



Leave the shadows, noble Reaper!

I know you're here to claim my soul!

Don't play the sinister creeper

With fabled eyes that burn like coal!



I am ready, bringer of death!

Let me finally take your side

I'll take my vows at my last breath

At last, tonight I'll be your bride



I have called and he has answered

My love for all eternity

I tempted him and he answered

I'm his- for all eternity
