DarkPoetry -|- tangeled -|- so high above pain

so high above pain

what did you say?
you want to kill me?
destroy me
suck away every will i have to live?
a vampire of emotions
a demon casting spells.
sitting tall upon your
pedestal
your perch above pain
quietly drooling away
dripping with lies,
and full with deceit
pointing your swollen fingertips
you hate the ones that love you
you sit so high

high

high

high

high above
so fucking high!!!
so high that no soul
could
love
cherish
understand you.
so throw your spears
cast your words
and i will dance
amidst them
knowing that you can
hurt
this
soul

no more.

i guess its how well you can salvage whats left. no one can take your soul, but they can damage it. its up to you to dust it off.

thank you. *blushes* its great to know that someone i admire so, would read my shit. as unfortunate as it is i can never forget my past or the pains felt, but i am starting to learn how to be happy. finding true love in the darkness was my first step. thank you again *bows to mab*

if we forget the pain, there is a better chance it will repeat itself to refresh our memory.Love shows us how to keep going when muddling through our past...

i guess i can still be dark even in the arms of love. a life full of pain can't be washed away. even with the warm, soft cloak of love.
