Dark Poet

Dark skies fill eyes of despair, Full of hurt and anger that grows so strong; A pain-filled child ready to rip out her hair, All her life never feeling like she belongs. Dark-bright eyes, rimmed in smeared mayballine, With moon-colored skin they look haunted. A tortured wild-girl ready to scream, Knowing deep inside that she isn't wanted. Looking out through blood red strands, At what could be her kill or prey; Yellow-green cat eyes scan the land, Ready to take out an enemy and leave it to decay. So lost inside with not a light; Showing anger instead of her pain. Taking out her injuries on the world in spite; The emotions inside so hard to contain. One little slice turns to ten, Before she knows it shes addicted. She jots down her words in black liquid pen, Her heart so jumbled, feels constricted. No one knows the secrets she hides; She doesn't think anyone would care She's tossed under the rip-tides, trapped unable to breath with the tricking suns glare. On the prey she paces like a cat; A black panther so smooth, with a wicked saunter. At any moment ready to strike and go into full combat, Ready to win front and center. If you look into her sinful eyes, Would you see all her lies and truths; Or get trapped in her promiscuous disguise. Deep inside shes a sleuth, Watching how everyone else in the world acts; Wondering if she can too act like that. When someone finds out why she' like this, it stops her in her tracks; She attacks, then hides in the dark like a bat. She's the Dark Poet; the Little Lost one. There is no hope for her; She knows all hope has been lost, the threads come undone; She's trapped in her own world, with a panthers black purr. Given up all effort to try and make it better then it is; She doesn't see the point in trying anymore. Even her heart screams out "you will never be his", Left to lay her beautiful corps on the floor. She's haunted, twisted, evil little one, she's so dark inside, Finally she'll let it all out, she'll let people see, There is nothing left to hide, I promise I've never killed anyone, But me...
