Blame

Blame. The very word creates acid on every 
tongue that speaks it. its dark and clumped,
forming a giant ball of black sticky goo.
 It layers itself on the skin of every body that
is blamed for a wrong they  
did not do. a crime that they did not commit. 
It's a song that impales those who play the keys 
on a piano. A morbid song that slays the
hearts of lovers in the night. Its a siren who sings 
like the lark of the morning sun, shining her wings, 
revealing the diamond glow they bring upon
 themselves, she sings her out of tune lyrics 
luring men towards her grace. disguising her ugliness, 
with an appalling attractive face. 
She is blame. Luring men into her claws, caressing 
them sweetly, cursing and confusing and corrupting
 their minds; bringing shame upon them. 
Such trickery is a mask, a dark veil that covers the eyes 
and prevents the sight. blocking out any sort 
of light. she comes out of the dark and tortured night, bringing
 with her, her dark fame. For every 
human male knows her as strega; fulfilling her dark quest is a 
shame, yet, it is she who does not  
hold in her ;cold, raw claws; the blame.
