My Sweet Sins

The rank smell of Death, Still in the air
                               Hate evermore has formed my fate.
                       These tendrils like knives, cut open my heart, 
                           Now I cut Them, and my Demons I ate.
                   I wipe the face that's no longer mine, yet evil remains.
             I will never be saved, for I killed Them, committing unforgivable sin.
             They killed me in a way that remains, Oh Their pain tasted sweet,
                                    Like forgiveness and love.
                      I've tried Them all, and They all tasted sweet.

You seem to gravitate to the darker side of expression. I find that interesting considering responses you have written seem to have a gentle softer feel to them. That makes your writing all the more intriguing.

Well, I'm delighted to see intrigue from you. I take as a large compliment. I am one of the nicest people I know, not to sound conceited, but I treat everyone with love, affection, and respect. You never know who needs it. I just neglect treating myself the same way most of the time. Blessings Richard. -TJ
