A Night's Work

No, I don't plan on writing anything like this anytime soon. The reason why? I got part of this stuck in my head, I'll tell you what at the end, and I had to get it out, it was both annoying and a little disturbing. Since I'm always up for getting criticism, whether good or bad, I'm putting it up. Oh, and I'm not really sure if this is clean or not, so if you guys think it should be marked as Adult, I'll do that instead. Anyways... Listen [here](%5C) for how the cadence goes.

I decided that I'd tell you all

And as all of you now know

A terrible person lies inside

The kindness just a show

I had my blade, I'd found the one

It really wasn't hard

A quick lean to the middle

As if we weren't to part

Then began the ending

Of a love doomed from the start

My fingers wrapped around the hilt

I drew it from the sheath

I put an arm around the neck

Of the life I'd picked to take

The steel flashed through the air

And soon it met her flesh

A look of shock upon her face

Was all that I was left

The wound agape and crying red

As blood began to flow

I felt the life-force ebb away

The pulse began to slow

With nothing more except a smile

I laid her on the ground

And then I gave her just one gift

The slightest touch of lips

A kiss for the afterlife

Where we were soon to meet

Moments later I met her there

With little more than a shrug

I explained myself, an angel

A Fallen from on high

Once rejoicing in the Light

Now commanding for the Night

It was then I gave the choice

"Live again or die."

I told her what would happen

With either choice she'd make

Whether it was good or bad

Was the chance she'd have to take

"Should you chose to live again

You'll join me in the Night.

But should you chose your death right now

I swear to you I'll do my best

To bar you from the Light."

The fear set in, I knew it would

The mortal's fear of death

Little more than words were used

And then she chose my path

I held to her my outstretched paw

She grasped it firm in hand

The smallest grin upon my face

Was all I had to show

Before we both returned again

To the world you all know

Once more leaning over her

My lips were pressed to hers

I raised my head and smiled

Locking with her eyes

Her gaze, it was different now

Not worried much with life

They seemed to be intrigued with me

With what I'd left to hide

I took the knife, I pulled it out

The sound was sickening

Or perchance, it would have been

To one who was unlike me

She gasped at first, feeling pain

But soon she realized

That such little things as this

Wouldn't be her again

I'd freed her from her life

It was done, her soul was sold

Her mortal life was gone

Instead her life began anew

On a path far from the sun

But tonight would be a night

Purely that of joy

I found a place, she joined me there

I spent the night with her

And when we woke up in the morn

We both were arm in arm

An embrace, a small souvenir

From the night before aglow

With a smile, and a kiss

We rolled away, we spilt

She went her own way that day

With nothing left to mark her

Not even a line of scar

I haven't seen her since

A new demoness in hiding

As a brown-furred wolfess.

Yes, I know it doesn't always rhyme, but I'm not a poet and this is just straight out of my head and onto the screen. Now, for you guys to understand why I had to at least write it down, is I had the 5th stanza stuck in my head while I was trying to sleep. It's bothersome and kinda creepy to have that playing over and over, so I got it out. Now, on the subject of my 14th chapter, I'm workin on it, shouldn't be too much longer. Anyway, that's all for now.
