I knelt in front of my beloved And hoped, for once, I wasn't mislead I knew what others have read About fairytales, with happily ever after said And this is it finally I saw the one I held dearly She was elegant and of fine beauty though she never saw the same for me As I open the box of our destiny That would seal our love for eternity She looked at me with contempt in her eyes And I knew her promises were all lies She looked ahead of me and I turned I saw another like me, and I felt burned Burned! Like a witch in a stake People screamed for nobody's sake All efforts are waste And suicide should make haste What is it that turned you to treason Was it because of that one small reason?
Gaining something you didn't deserve Is something that gets into my nerve You were there, all beautiful and an angel And what you were thinking, I never could tell You were dressed in silk apparel And I see that you were happy as well I knew from the start That I was never in your heart But should it be this painful? This is regret, right? But why was it shameful? I wandered off for days Until I found one to correct my ways Offered me a cur, or so it says It will change my fate and also my face I tried to say no But I guess I couldn't let you go And I drank the potion Soon, I was nothing but emotion I knocked at your door hoping this is the season And I did it because of that one small reason
Deceit is the one thing I'm good Although I tried to change, I never could I tried everything I can But I guess this is who I am When you open the door I knew you couldn't say no anymore You took everything you own Even that silk apparel you have sewn We traveled away from here We went ways everyone would fear I took you to places of your dreams And soon, you were a subject to my schemes And I saw it in your eyes That confusion, lost in your cries I am guilty enough that I took you away And now, I am going to lead you astray Whatever it is that made me feel strong It, deep inside, had already made me wrong And because you were the one I cannot abandon And so I did it for one small reason
And I saw it in your eyes That fear when you roll the dice You were once free, like a bird in sunlight And now you're caged, stuck in the night I kiss you to my heart's content I destroyed your silk apparel because you can't In my ways, I was lost and bent And I knew no one could forever fix that dent And I saw it in your eyes That regret, that no one could suffice And when the night was already deep I came to you, ready to fall asleep You had no choice but to entertain This lost soul, you have created in vain And this was in your eyes Even after I drew my knife I saw love, after that complete demise And I knew, deep inside, there was strife But it was too late Already over because of hate This is the price for sophistication All because of that one small reason
I stared at your mangled corpse Hoping it will love me back, or worse In your lips, I planted a thousand kisses And I know I'd be the one whom nobody misses I kissed you, hoping you'd feel love But you only felt contempt, higher than above I struck you with a knife, ending your life But I knew you could never be my wife Pushing someone to honestly feel Is not exactly what you would do to heal Time heals wounds, but not memories Truth hurts to those who sees As I looked into your glassy eyes I saw the sky and countless stars I hoped someone would say otherwise But my heart was as dark as quasars That silk apparel that you're supposed to wear Was the symbol of your love to someone who cares And I saw it in your eyes, that strange devotion And I knew you accepted death for that I realized I am never meant to be your completion And my revenge is what I've got I love you, I guess it's too late to say I never meant to lead you astray I knew in my heart that it was never my season But I love you, and that is my one small reason

I found this stashed somewhere in my old blog that has like, three posts in it. I don't remember writing it but I remember posting it in the said blog and showing it to my editor-in-chief for the school paper. They uh, did not like it. I think.
This poem is beyond creepy, now that I think about it. It's hella long too. It's 26-lines-per-stanza, for crying out loud.
And would you believe it that I wrote this a day after my fifteenth birthday? So yeah, happy birthday, fifteen-year-old me, and I hope you're happy with this creepy poem. *shivers*
What do you think? Comment below! :)
