Corruption of All Innocence
Even when I originally wrote this poem years ago, I wasn't sure exactly what it was about. I feel like maybe it's about playing a game with the devil, in a way.
Come dance in the fire
Burn with desire
Play the game
Try to stay sane
Run from the dream
Feel ripped apart at the seams
Take the dare
Embrace the nightmare
What do you do?
Let the darkness envelop you
Feel yourself burn
Be forced to learn
Look in the mirror
See your greatest fear
Start to run
Seek aid, find none
Start to cry
Ask yourself why
Hear yourself scream
The end remains to be seen
Find the eye of the storm
See yourself born
Finally understand
Desperately take his hand
See yourself die
Hear him whisper "Goodbye"
I now know the face of your revenge
The Corruption of All Innocence
