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.
