Transformation

Manipulation
Suffocation
Strangulation
Feelings of despair

Frustration
Aggravation
Violation
No solace anywhere

Turning to run away,
Run away from the shadows and ghosts that haunt and inhibit your heart and your mind
Running away to seek some comfort, not daring to look behind
Breaking free and running for your very life
Letting go of all the misery and strife
Feeling like you have finally conquered the demons and the pain

Suddenly,
All feelings of elation turn to stone
As another cruelness you are thrown
You are bound by the connection that haunts your very being
You are a slave to the master
You cover your ears to drown out his laughter

That sightless bond that neither can break,
The one which holds you captive like the old Salem witches that were once tied to a stake
You feel his power and yield to his embrace
Falling limp within his arms,
Your loyalty you will never misplace
You feel the energy course from his body into yours
The electricity that tingles and excites every pore

You close your eyes and remember days gone by,
Of countless whispers and endless sighs
You see the beauty that captivated you long ago,
You hear the voice that always soothed your soul,
Your heart is pounding,
Your breath is bated,
Too long you have waited

Throwing back your head
Breaking free of his embrace,
You need to look into those eyes and see that loving face
But as you do, your smile slowly fades
As what you see tears through your heart like a million tiny blades

Beautiful blue eyes once shining with love,
Have now been replaced with a black emptiness as he looks down on you from above
A heart that once beat for you,
That beat to be loved and accepted,
Now is silenced, the walls drowning all sound
Keeping it protected
The hands that once stroked your cheek, now claw at your flesh
And the voice that once soothed now growls as if in distress

What is this thing that now holds you close?
Where is your beloved?
Why in his place is this creature, a creature so morose.
Pulling away as you unwittingly start to cry
You still feel the connection, oddly, that you cannot deny

But this being that embraces you is not one of love,
It's one of calculating, cruel intentions.
You yell, you scream, beat on its chest
Crying out for this beast to free you
But on deaf ears fall your protests.

He speaks,
His gravely voice sending chills down your spine,
I am the love you seek,
I am who you wanted to find,

Come with me and all will be revealed
But realize in doing so, your fate will be sealed.
A destiny of unknown,
An abyss of certain pain
Take my hand and forget as what once was has been slain.



We will walk this earth bound as always by our bond
Side by side
Day by day
You said you would always love me and never turn away
So right now I ask you to come with me
For all eternity



You say your love and heart is pure,
Your trust and belief in me so strong and sure

You will stand by me in good times and bad
A woman of her word
If what you say is true,
No longer hesitate, take my hand
And let me seal your fate.
