Dark Bloody Sins

I watch the pillars crashing all around your face I see you start to disappear into the altars cracks Your blood mixed with tears, your desperate screams Your prayers for saints lost in cathedral downpours Your sins finally catching up to you Dragging you from angels arms Ripping your tattered heart into bloody fragments Your chains shattering into scalding shards of glass Engulfing you in icy tendrils, the flames ripping into your chest The cyanide in your veins purging out your unholy humanity

oh dear, there is a lot of anger in this, personally I don't believe in allowing anger to have any place in my heart for long, here today gone tomorrow, but that's just me, love Elizabeth

My poetry IS about my emotions. And anger is an emotion. Anger is unique to whoever feels it, and I personally find my writings are best when I feel strong emotions. Anger was not in fact the main emotion in writing this. But yes. It is in there.
