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
