Darkness,
Pouring all around me,
Covering over all of my body.
I listen,
Trying to hear the voice of those that I love,
Nothing.
The rose petals fall around me,
And I try to take in their sweet fragrance,
They have no smell,
They are empty,
Not real,
Just like this darkness.
I move closer to the one thing that seems solid.
His body.
He is Lucifer,
The fallen angel,
Come to show me the way to his world.
Now that I have seen what he has to show me,
Seen the real reality,
He is all I have.
I long to look back,
Become once more,
The innocent child that I once was,
But that time is gone,
Forgotten,
And it will never return.
I feel his hard strong chest against my face,
I feel his arms wrap around me,
Surrounding me in his sweet death-embrace.
Like a snake,
A snake even loves its prey though,
It embraces the frightened rabbit to death,
And there is that moment when the rabbit stops struggling,
It accepts what is inevitable.
Perhaps I am that rabbit,
Here in Lucifer’s arms,
Wrapped in the scent of hostility,
And love,
The scent of gunpowder and roses,
Intermingling,
Becoming one,
A sweet scent that makes me light headed,
He is all that is here.
He is all that there is left,
I will do as he says,
Whatever he says.
There was once that I promised myself,
That I would never become like him,
But now my innocence is gone,
And he is my only salvation.
I feel the wind in my hair as we drive in his convertible,
As we drive to the ends of the earth.
