Pride

You bite your tongue, 

Because you are the one who is wrong. 

I am right. 

As always. 

I will twist the things you say, 

Until you can speak no longer. 

You’re prettier when you’re silent. 

Hold your tongue, 

Or I just might burn it off. 

All these arguments of yours have already been fought. 

And lost. 

Smells of burnt flesh, 

Tears stream down your face. 

Helpless and hopeless, 

There is no escape. 

I gaze into your wide eyes,

Brimming with fear. 

And I smile bright. 

You’re so much prettier my love, 

When I am the one who is right.

Greed

I want it all, 

Everything. 

From my cage in hell to your cage in the heavens. 

I want you. 

But you are kept away. 

Our chaotic love, 

Will not be kept at bay. 

They will bow before us,

Or heads will roll. 

Murder,

For my darling, 

Isn’t that steep of a toll. 

I cannot die, 

For I do not have that privilege. 

I desire you more than death. 

More than all the world’s riches. 

More than fame. 

Because you, 

My love, 

Are my everything.

Envy

It’s not that I want you,

It’s not that I don’t.

It’s not that I hate you.

It’s not that I won’t. 

It’s that...

It spreads like a disease...

I believe, 

Humans call this sickness I have,

Jealousy. 

I am jealous, 

Because you aren’t mine. 

With them, 

You get to live a happy life. 

While I remain watching,

From the shadows of the night. 

For now,

Alone and forgotten. 

But soon I’ll set things right. 

You can be happy with me. 

I will bring my shadows,

And you will bring your light. 

But when,

Oh when, 

Shall I strike?

Lust

I see you,

Lying there. 

Your soft, 

Gentle breathing,

Is my air. 

So content.

So peaceful. 

To disturb you, 

I wouldn’t dare. 

I want you to smile. 

And I’m afraid that once you’re with me, 

That smile will disappear. 

I’d prefer to watch over you. 

From here. 

From your closet. 

Where it’s safe.

If I spoke to you,

I would probably speak the truth. 

Of all the things,

That I want to do to you. 

The ways that I would make you sing, 

Sometimes even make you sting. 

Tightly tie you up with string. 

Suddenly, 

My patience withers. 

I cannot wait any longer,

To do these things. 

So, 

I take the chloroform from my bag,

And I carefully pull out my rag. 

I force the cloth upon your lips,

Wishing,

Wanting,

But a kiss. 

With you, 

Knocked out cold.

It’s almost like, 

Your entire being has been sold. 

We drive,

Down and down we go,

Into our,

Brand new home.

Gluttony

From the bottomless glasses, 

Of red and white wine,

To the ever continuing platters, 

From which upon I dine. 

Although my lifestyle is divine, 

My hunger is never satisfied. 

This is my damned crime, 

My punishment? 

It’s that I’m still alive. 

And I will be, 

Until the end of time. 

Most would think, 

It must be unbearable. 

But yet, 

Here I am. 

Fucking living still. 

Sharing, 

Really wasn’t my forte. 

That was until, 

I laid my eyes upon them that fateful day. 

Skinny. 

Horribly so. 

They adorned rags, 

That hardly passed for clothes. 

Yet, 

They still smiled though. 

At the same sunset I’ve seen trillions of times. 

Happiness danced upon their face. 

I couldn’t help but gape. 

Something stirred within me. 

An urge, 

To give them my coat. 

And wrap them up, 

To pull this person close. 

I wanted to keep them for only myself alone. 

Shower them in lavish gifts. 

To quench my thirst for their kiss. 

Myself and my needs, 

Typically came first. 

Sharing my existence with them, 

Couldn’t be much worse. 

As long as, 

They don’t hunger for anyone else. 

They won’t wind up, 

Like the others. 

Cold, forgotten and rotten, 

Within a hearse. 

I smile brightly, 

As I approach this human. 

With my coat and an unrefusable offer, 

In hand. 

I wrap them up and pull them close, 

I point my dagger to their throat. 

A brilliant smile,

Still gracing my face. 

I say, 

“Come with me, 

If you want to live, 

A life of luxury devoid of death. 

Refuse this proposal, 

And you will learn, 

Just how much hellfire,

Really burns.” 

Startled and frightened, 

They nod their head yes. 

I kiss them upon the cheek,

Their eyes seem to have gone bleak. 

They will smile at me one day, 

Or I’ll just have to take all of their sunsets away.
