Sibyl Vane

The proverbial victim immortalized forever Seeing Prince Charming when you gazed into his eyes, but, beyond your delusion stood Satan himself fantasizing about how he was to devour your flesh. Sibyl's true love for Dorian did not see deceit's nasty warnings. Narcissistic Dorian could not be abated. The torment of others didn't reach his conscience. He craved only masturbation material for his wicked ego. His evil heart overpowered all. His sinister desires are all that ruminated through his diabolical mind Loving Dorian only left Sibyl starving. His heart was not capable of returning the undying devotion she felt for him. He was no man. Only a hollow shell, pretending to feel love while concealing his laughter for his unsuspecting prey. Loving Dorian only killed you. He compromised your integrity Stole your innocence Taking from you what you could never retrieve Just because he could But, don't worry your pretty little head, Sibyl. You will never be forgotten. Especially by Sir Dorian Gray Though I imagine that he would give anything to have a moment of peace from the horrifying images of your tragic ending, for all eternity his thoughts will be haunted by images of your ruby red blood, desperate cries and the contortion of your dying body. Sometimes he will think it is just a nightmare, but this is something from which he will never wake. He will pray for an ending to his torment, but his wish will never be granted. Though ultimately Sibyl, you took your own life there is blood dripping from Dorian's claws. Evil must be punished like everyone else and that is the embodiment of Dorian Gray's icy heart. Now Dorian must cloak his own sins. His evil soul destroyed himself and all those who had the misfortune to love him. Though he salivated at the thought of his next conquest, time and time again, Dorian's self hatred and inner demons engulfed him until he plunged into his darkened abyss from which he will never escape. His most unfortunate transgression of all was choosing to live a superficial existence, choosing eternal youth and beauty over true love. Sybil Vane was the only woman whose love was pure enough to rescue him. Dorian will forever be tormented knowing that he obliterated his guardian angel, the only one that could have saved him - from himself.
