Deadman Love

Poetry

Dear Deadman,

I wanna dance

Wanna feel the rain on my face.

I wanna scream

Wanna sing to all the sad songs.

Is that enough?

I wanna cry

But I'm too proud to give you that.

I wanna laugh

But I have no more happiness to give.

Did you like that?

The blood is rushing in my veins

But not for the same things.

I scream and cry

Only on the inside.

And you smirk like you still know me.

Ha!

I am not the girl you know.

I hold my arms to the light

Bearing the scars of my sin.

Love me or hate me

Does it really matter, baby?

My drug is the pain you inflict

And I love it baby...

(just killin' me)

'cause now... I hate you

My heart is cold

My arms are bruised

And I'm still bleeding!

My branch of sin is positive

As I sing they bow

And become the Deadman.

Glass heart

Shattered a thousand times

Forever love, forever lost

Hold me dearest

My sweet Deadman.

Holding me close with your cold hands

Death breathing on your stale breath

Living lies on borrowed time.

Damned to this earth

My only hell is without you.

Scared am I, kissing on your scarred chest.

I love you through it all

Doesn't that make us the perfect pair?

My sweet Deadman

Breathe sweet life into me.

A poem for my love

A poem from a dying heart

A dying love. Deadman, Deadman

Won't you call my name.....

Oh Deadman, Deadman

Sing these words I have written for you.

We leave but always come back to thee.

Deadman, Deadman

Can't you see?

I am alive...

Do you believe me?

The light is shining in my eyes

Making me blind.

The dark shrouds your shoulders

But it is our comfort.

And then you said before you left...

"cause I will be your Deadman

Down here in wonderland"

I kissed you goodbye as they took you away

And you played their games

Tears running down my face

So our hearts sank.

And the children sing:

"Deadman, Deadman... Won't you call my name

Deadman, Deadman... Sing these words I have written for you

Deadman, Deadman... Can't you see?

I am alive?"

My love runs deep

Pouring through these marks I bare.

The world is cold

As they make a fool of you.

I stand my ground but I am weak

Too weak to fight thee.

We are Angel and Demon

Oh my sweet Deadman

Can't they see?

They're letting a Demon walk the streets

As they lock up the Angel tearing at his wings.

My Angel

My Beast

Falling through blackness

My Deadman

And I pray at your grave

Eternity in hell without.

Forever love, forever lost

Deadman, Deadman

The blood is sickly sweet

I swing my arms back and forth

Like a dying soldier.

Can't you see?

I am spitting the venom

Lost in my own hatred

Bleeding simply from my arms.

The scars aren't new

Why can't you see? Deadman, Deadman

Please just kiss me

Send me to rest

On my bed of nails

It's just a game

We lives in a game.

It's beautiful

How we move to each other

How we bleed

How we all scream.

And when I die, if I do

Will you sing lullabies to me?

Will you love me still?

Oh my sweet Deadman

Damned to eternity

Darkness my only kindness

Drying my long forgotten

Tears—

My arms are nailed down

The "saints" laugh

I only grin

You sit amongst the crowd

Praying silently I'll survive

But blood is what decorates me

I laugh maniacally

Kiss me, kiss me

Blood rains down

And I love thee

You hold me close

As the last breath leaves me

End me

Soft kiss goodbye

Sincerely,

The Witch
