Romantic Torment

I believe it is important to explain this poem for someone to really understand what it was written over. In part 1 - The Innocent, it speaks of a woman and myself whom share an enjoyable evening. However, in Part 2 - The Executioner, it reveals another woman whom is frustrated over what she can not have. So, in another words, each part deals with a different woman, but all in the same night.

Part 1 - The Innocent

Another night is born,
and so the fun begins.
Gentle talk and wine,
a few laughs you win.

Teasing and cuddling close,
anticipation in the air.
Blind lust consuming,
two souls with unconditional care.

And with a bite unto flesh,
the night of ecstasy begins.
Lips touch together,
a night of pleasurable sin.

Part 2 - The Executioner

All is said and done,
a phone call comes with speed.
She demands to know answers,
to things you can only dream.

In fury she denounces you,
she claims there is no truth.
You defend yourself at best,
over a cause you once knew.

A fight shatters the friendship,
the cuddling nights,
and the comfort which each had.
Insanity has claimed another (her),
into those unknown lands.

Welcome to my dungeon,
where pain is free at hand.
Tortured souls surround me,
in these forlorn lands.

Corruption and deceit,
dancing around my feet.
Sin and erotic pleasures,
taking unknown measures.

Within my soul
a blasted heart.
Remorse for all the things
that have fallen apart.

See unto your own,
the pain and misery which you cause.
I am your martyr,
I am the soul that never won.

Step within,
and dance within my mind.
Dance around my shattered soul,
and see me in the mirror, where there I cry.

Insanity has become my only friend,
the only one not yet dead.
The darkness keeps me in,
and the truth is spoken: I am the Angel Of Sin.
