A Moonlit Dream

A Poem

Love benefits my new hate now,

Pain benefits the passion I want to save for him.

Anger enrages the burning sorrow of knowing,

He is too good for me and too young.

The shadow creeps over the moon,

As I loose myself in thought wondering

if I’ll ever escape this fate.

My binds keep me alive

And yet all I want to do is die.

A pitiful end to such a dream,

But as noble as I am

I’d rather be dead.

Sleep I sleep and dream I dream.

A brighter day will come,

But shadows is what becomes a new nightmare,

To genocide into deadly wave of bad luck

Never to die.

I stare at the moonlit crescent,

And beg for my end.

Defeat me now while I am still a friend.

But no longer can my mind move on its own,

Like the moon, my shadows be told.

Why should I kill such a dream,

It has kept me going.

The thought of the happiness

Fading to nothing as I stare at the moon.

I realize that my end draws near,

That my time has come to leave

Behind those who care only to be selfish

And care about me.

Has it always been my flaw,

Or is it just a dream?

A dream to fall in love,

And kill the only thing you really care.

Crush it under the weight of knowing,

You are not there.

Fading into the moonlight hour,

Your soul draws closer to the sun.

To thrash away as if the sun burns,

The new day killing the moon,

To create this red sky.

Is this blood your reason why?

To be swallowed by the shadows,

and never see the day.

I have let so much go away,

I have lost my feelings to those who draw near.

For I am the one,

Who has created a monster,

A being of sin.

Should I watch the world turn to ash,

As I promised I wouldn't?

Why you ask,

It rings in my head never fleeting

Nor disappearing as if you’re always there.

Why was it that I stopped to your cry,

When it meant so little when it died?

Died and went away as the blood spread,

Lifting emotions you never had.

Interests fleeting away,

But old emotions stay to stray.

Lovely blood drips down the side,

Only to be asked the reason why.

Why must it be stained with the black pain,

deceit it dully remains and fleets.

Red of beauty and of dead but blackened lies,

Have corroded this red making each scream and cry,

Even more interesting then thy.

Have I not shed enough blood for you,

To realize that it’s me who must die.

I am a plague I would rather be gone

But still I remain away from my love.

It’s all I hear and fear to say,

But maybe I am the one who has to die.

To save your soul from the shadows that bind,

But why stop that which comes,

Why not turn the world to ash,

Without remorse without thought.

Simply playing in the rain is sin,

In fear not to be shamed.

Interest leaves and dying comes

A simple scream seems to be fun.

Loving cries fade away as does this new day.

Simple shade of black and blue,

To match the bruises that have become of you.

Die we all die and cry we all tear,

And to tear apart this new fear

Of staying to stray one more day

And living another to smile anyway.

The smile has fade, only sorrow remains.

I would rather watch it fade with the end of the day.

To only stop for her cry leaving her to watch all die.

She can feel my pain and sorrow.

But why wait ‘til Morrow,

When you know what’s to come.

You know the monster I’ve become.

Will you stop what is to come,

Or just watch the ashes fall.

Ashes fall everyday simply because they may,

To stop a monster is a hope,

And a goal to watch it froth brightens my soul,

From sin is beauty and beauty from sin.

Such a beautiful sight of nature,

Does this night unfold.

A simple monster so beautiful its story untold,

Walking near the path of shadows,

Near the death since the path is so hollow.

Not a noise do you dare making,

Thinking of the sun in the voice, shaking.

So hallow yet so human.

So dead yet alive.

Tortured by her hand she knows

What it is I feel,

She is around me all the time.

Yet I dare to wonder,

Do I cross her mind.

Of course not I know I’m am the empty soul

She created to make her own.

His thoughts her own.

She speaks not of word of what she had done

And yet she has left her love a kiss upon tainted lips.

Does it surprise her that this is what I’ve become,

Or does it make her wish I was gone?

Though the thought still remains

To make her feel my pain.

Pain of what? The demise

Of the simplicity that lies in your eyes?

Our the sorrow that plots her demise.

She listens but cannot hear it,

The morning comes but she cannot see it.

She is blind and deaf to the world

Keeping her face low so she might hurl

Into darkness that isn’t there.

Or into the shadows were

She may be learned of the lies

That she has never really realized

Followed the hate and torment so unkept.

What’s the point?

The reason so unswept.

The reason is clear like the blood on my lips.

The words that he would never say

Are the words that keep her away.

He has loved her once

Only to allow it to die each time.

She knows he wishes her not to follow his path.

But she strays to close to his binds.

As she is too blind to see he was left alone

To die his blood has stained her eyes.

She watched him die and did not a thing,

Is that what he has deserved for all he has done?

For what he has seen!

The worlds unfurled their true nature

Binding each other for in hate with each other.

The book of the dead the living or of life,

Souls streaking away. It seems so clear

For a new way to sell all this pain.

Interest falls into a binding hate

Sieving into the spell or rate.

Is this what you believe,

A punishment for the unseen?

As I thought you still deny,

What is right within your mind.

I wish you luck but I won’t stay.

I’m just a dream that goes away,

For if I would stay it would be clear

That all has come to leave me here.

I have severed my ties so that I may die.

And all I hoped was a good bye.

But now I see where your heart lies for now,

I will fade away into nothing this day.

You will never be the monster for me to create,

You are the tenderness of a new day.

Your voice is spoken when the crows cry,

But for me I hope you shall never die.

No monster will you ever be,

Just a sweet sacrifice,

A dream to forever be.
