Face of Innocence

***This one is a little bit grizzly, perhaps even a bit morbid. I get in these really weird moods sometimes and this, like some of the others you will read, is what happens when i write poetry in this kinda mood. I still thinks its a neat poem, just not your average lovey dovy poem***

Your sweet smile, beautiful face,

hides the soul of a monster.

Your love for me is only skin deep,

but your desire for pain runs to the core.

Perhaps you loved me truely once,

but that moment has come and gone.

Your desire to cause me pain

long ago won over your true love.

I have watched your every expression,

your every move.

For you are not the only one who can be cruel.

You’re just a pawn, blinded by your illusion of

power.

But you have nothing. You never had me.

My once trusting, loving, fear filled gaze

is replaced with an expression like your own.

Your eyes grow wide with fear.

All you see is malice, anger, and vengeance.

As I tear you limb from limb. Flesh from bone.

In a furry of rage and pleasure.

Leaving you to rot for the scavengers.
