“Immortalized”

The nightmare of heartbreak strikes me down like lightning 
I stare deeply into your condemning eyes 
Ruthless to rue both the sight and the sighting 
Revealing the dead form beneath your disguise 

I found a path winding in dread through darkness 
I was a shadow, a stain on your skirt   
Never forgetting how twisted and heartless 
And how I will never return to the earth

Overcome by the beauty of the angels 
Immortalized by their lush waters of life
You who lead me to a fate which entangles 
Beneath the stars and the moon to your knife 

Vast oceans of pain reflect heavens of pleasure,
I drank of their wisdom and tumultuous faith 
‘Was never their room in the world for your treasure?’
I wondered in the mind of my wretched wraith 

Never forget how all things must be poisoned
To make you understand just how frail you are  
Protector of prisms and caster of visions 
Will never you remove this blade from my heart?
