I had never seen such a sight, your hair embraced by the night

A tear tickles my cheek as I stare, a smile you own- never share

Such delicacy you partake in, a soft bite from my fruit of sin

While roses bleed your lips, the sword ached to separate from your hips

Rubies form your iris, these diabolical eyes left me in a crisis

My head moves to the side, neck exposed- nothing left to hide

Cold fingers muffle my cries, as the moon attempts to lull me with lies

The blade snickers so sinisterly, when it kisses my vulnerable artery

Then your eyes meet mine in a promise, at least you were never dishonest

You knew how foolish I had been, to think you would let me win

And how I remain so daft, for I cannot hate you no matter the act

Now consciousness clutches onto me desperately, when you lower cruel lips intimately

How lovely the words you speak, while you continue a sadistic deed

How strangely captivating were raven strands, as gravity drags down my hands

I had never wanted us to end this way, to my utter dismay

But at least I will not see your wicked smiles, if an angel covers my tired eyes

A tilt of my lips is felt, when the palm of your hand is set

On my cheek- so divine, maybe in another life you could've been mine

One of my earliest poems, that's why the style is kind of different; the sentences are fragmented.

Although I don't enjoy this choppy writing style anymore, I still remember this poem randomly and decided to add it despite being old.
