The Ballad of Malice by ~A-Beasts-Lust:iconA-Beasts-Lust:



A moment, an eternity,
A second more without is a lifetime,
Blame can’t bring you back,
So now it’s time to act.

Live with the shadows,
Laugh with the damned,
Your soul is in the gallows,
Your emotions can’t stand.

Forever searching, never finding,
It’s as fruitless as it gets,
I’ll never give up,
When will it ever end?

Live in the shadows,
Walk with the damned,
Your emotions are hollow,
This is your last stand.

I’m losing my grip on reality,
Where am I, who are you?
Why do I kill with such fallacy?
Are you crying too?

Live within us,
You are the damned,
Satisfy your bloodlust,
God help this man.

It feels so good,
To wallow in their lives,
I kill, as I should,
But why do I feel deprived?

A second without, a lifetime,
A moment, an eternity,
Will you forgive me my crimes
And Pull me; pull me from this false serenity?

Malice is a character of mine. He's slowly going insane.

Every other stanza is the shadows talking, except the last one, so it goes:

1:Malice
2:Shadows
3:Malice
4:Shadows
5:Malice
6:Shadows
7:Malice
8:Malice

"God help this man." is supposed to be read sarcastically.
"To wallow in their lives" Means taking a bloodbath.

You know, for all those people who don't funking get metaphors.

Behold, the Ballad of the Shadow Thief.

This seems like something we'd read in English class. (HS)
:icona-beasts-lust:
Huh, I don't know if we read something like this or not, I came up with it... 15 minutes ago.

It's sweet and simple.

We didn't, it's just one that a teacher would make us read. In a good way.

>.> I have no idea which era or what this would be considered as.

Transcendental? Nah.

That'd be cool if something of mine ended up in a literature book though.
