Immortal Snare

The clock stopped ticking, my ears are ringing Tale, tale signs that something is wrong here Everything looks normal, nothing out of place Then I looked in the mantel mirror And seen that horrid face. Not the reflection of a man, or anything I've ever seen His eyes were so hypnotic They seemed to lock onto me. He only spoke two words but they were loud and clear They will haunt my soul all my days He looked at me and said “Just You” with a blackened tooth grin He wants me as his princes His spoils of war so to speak To make me his blushing human bride And the queen of all lost souls This was way more than I could bear I tried to say no Each one bringing a crushing blow Rebuffing his every attempt each time his anger grew And my will was becoming spent. With my final exhausted breaths I begged NO let me go And he laughs and swore to kill all I love unless I stayed I gave myself over so that no one feels the pain of this immortal snare So to save all else I gave in I miss who I use to be once so happy and care free Now on fear and hatred is how I feed I gave myself over so that no one feels the pain of this immortal snare
