Gothic Halo

Trapped and choked to death
fuming, intoxicating meth
insane love, paranoid mind
eyes of reason that went blind
She walked on shards of glass
for a man of liminal class
A wretch with the darkest soul
hot veins with burning coal
the truth did rip apart
the beats with the fractured heart
And there were storms and rains
tears of sorrow, rivers of pain,
But that was the end of all
unmasking the real, the curtains did fall
Out of the ruins, her spirit did rise
Making him repent and pay the price
She soared high above while he lay down
With much to suffer and to frown
At heaven's gate, her aura shone bright
Deep down there, he kept shivering in the fright
Of being consumed
By his own gothic halo!

I am proud of you my sister...if poetry runs in our genes, i must say...you got the best ones. Great vocabulary, brilliant flow and trust me, i had to keep a dictionary with me to look up a few words.
