The Sins of the Heart

The Sins in the Heart 

Once I looked upon my love
With sorrow in my eyes
The beast had come and claimed me
As his devil bride
The emotions that swirled through my head
The possession that the beast took
Left me cold hearted, vulnerable
Disgusting, vile
Until the day he died
I never knew when it would happen
Morning, night
Joining the souls that screeched for plight
I never knew what was wrong with me
What curse I had,
But when he passed everything hit me
Right through my damned soul
For, I had never known what would occur
If he had still lived
Would I have still been cold hearted,
Would I have still been filled with sin?
Was it the beast?
Was it the karma?
Was it the devil inside of me?
Or was it just.. me?
Twenty years after his passing,
I stood still in the temple of Death
Looking for his soul
But when I called out to it,
The horrible screeching noise made me shrink back
As I looked at the soul, my worst nightmare came true
The devil, the beast, the disgusting vile creature inside of me
The curse,
It had damned his soul also
Because of my love for him
