Title: 'Soul Betrayal'

Title: 'Betrayal Reversed' 69 - Prayer Art by Rev.Bola

On this night of taking,
she weeps.
 

It is a night of ethereal pain, 

a song of sorrow.
Wolves vent their howls. 

The Thirsting One awakens.

Curling wisps of death 

shroud her gaunt form,
a timeless dread.

His raven hair cascades over
fragile milk-white shoulders, 

and her full scarlet lips part slightly, 

to taste the blood streaming 

from the pale flesh beneath him.

The night falls in a heavy, 

suffocating cloak, 

so stricken are we.
the understanding for which we pine
flares once, then dies

crushed by the abyss.

All hope must surely perish,

as passions throb no more.
How could you cause such hurt? 

Lost souls surround us, crying,
we have lost our way.

Slender beams of light enter

the darkened chamber as she kneesl,
always a slave, always forlorn,
frozen here, waiting.

Robed forms wrought 

in panes of glass loom 

as dust dances in the air,
forming an image in her mind,
penetrating her shamed flesh.

With sheer terror on humanity's face.

she raises her head, now crying out for
this callous reality.

 

Around, all around, 

the sinister creatures gather.
Her dread grows as the 

Dark One's touch, 

falls against her head.

It smites her, 

and darkly her blood drips
to the broken ground.
In unholy terror she flails madly
while the Reaper hovers close.
 

Now alone, 

her cry of mercy falls upon cold eyes.

This is Hell.

What has she wrought?

A fog of chaos, 

as perceptions diminish.

Once she savoured innocence
wide-eyed and untainted,
but her desire soured.

A vengeful throng of bitterness
as tears follow death, follow pain,
and love condemned.

In a torrent of righteousness, she cries...

"I reject you!

 I reject you!

 I reject you!"
