The Dark Poet (I Missed the Dead Line)

She keeps her darkness well within
Under her smile so drenched with sin
Letting it seep and settle in, 
The only proof, a dazzling grin
She don’t even flinch at being fought 
She knows she’s in safe hands
For she gives the impression of being guiltless
Behind her pure eyes and consenting tilt 
With that her darkness is able to keep
Settling in deep 

It started slowly, with the sin of lies 
She liked the taste of getting by 
Slowly it began to grow, now glows and flies, 
She’s Quite the pickpocket with words, 
She could convince death 
Talk him through the words of his suicide note
Persuade him to the bullet in his own head
Then put on the best act of sympathy.

The darkness within starting to traverse 
Still safe from all those but the blind
For they have no eyes to see her innocent face
With their sight
They know the darkness that grows 
It whispers to them intimidation's 
The truth shall stays behind red lips
With Fear as there only glimpse
They remain with sealed lips. 

The child drenched with sin 
Given A smartly smirk
With a half heated heart
She feels herself being pulled into the dark
Feeling her bones quiver with promised warmth 
She lets is take over…
The sin seeped into her blood 
The darkness wrapped around her heart
Forever protecting her from hurt

Knowing she will never see heartbreak again 
She stands still and let darkness take control 
Knowing she never has to give thought to love 
She gives her mind to the wit sin
Enjoying the taste of adrenaline that will forever overflow her
She keeps it safe with her stunning grin, her untainted blue eyes 
She allows the darkness to grow to glow
She lets darkness seep and settle deep, forever on her bad side.
