This poem was deeply inspired by my sad love towards my first crush.


As an evil snake I bit and poisoned many

Fed on the thrill Never realized that I could be different I became very ill

I was truly despicable, horrible and heartless I was the ice of night But then I tasted the rich taste of true love At first I felt my fright

It was so strange and so odd, so opposite My heart melted It was at its unease and frighten state Taken for granted

I felt your gleam of heat when you talked I wanted more I began to see the world from another view I began to adore

I deeply cherished every moment with you You didn't knew That I wanted to share my life with you Together we flew

I wished to give you everything you wanted And so I did For I lived to make you feel happy and glad But something was hid

As the wonderful days went quickly by You found out That I was a man of true disgrace I began to doubt

For the first time in my life I felt terrible Like my victims As the Beast I was I hid in my hideout In great sickness

I wonder if I will feel your warmth again as the star you are I feel cold and I've wandered for so long you have become afar

I've never felt such loneliness and solitude so malicious strong With many things I tried to fill the hole Repair was beyond

I began to feel a quenchless threat and rage Rampaging through dark I lost myself into the deepest abyss of regret Hoping to see a spark

My rage was born through my inner sadness Wanted to abreact I turned more evil but acted through emotions Heart began to crack

You fled in the time of the night, heard of me I wanted you back My heart began fail, sought for a source life Energy it began to lack

I kept myself alive through sinister lust, desire Falling slowly apart My rose of love began to wither slowly Readying for depart

My mind was slowly distorted, saw lies Mistrust took roots Now I was truly a lone wolf, an outcast I was false, a refute

But forever I'll remember your soft nature Your gently touch My inner heart steadily slowed, dying It was too much

I decided to kill my only living flame, myself To escape, to be free I couldn't take it anymore, life is cruel The failure was me
