The Dark Side Of A Quiet Mind!



I guess it's normal this rain!
 I grew to love the sound of lighting and the danger it proclaims!
When the darkness begins to fall I dream of blood and brains!
 Roasted in pure hatred, ripped up from within!
Contrary, to, popular, beliefs, a nightmare to me became just a dream!
 The feeling she left flowing through the nerves that I kept echoed the same words!
"I owe you my soul,"!
 As the blood gushed out of her in silence all I felt was fire as it clinched my private!
She did it on purpose!
 While the breath left from her lungs, I only remember feeling better instead of worse!
Grabbing my hands as she looked at my eyes her surrender was no surprise!
 All I want is "you," she said!
Beyond crazy I thought of past maybe's!
 Yet, no other dead body felt as true!
"Oh, this soul, of mine, burns, red and black,"!
What started as a dream became, my only way to think!
 I died with her that same day!
Thinking of my casket made me smile I'm not average!
 Fitting that my last name was always Bates!
For, if you travel, along that mountain road where the castle stands, and the bats just roam, you will see, her spot next to mine!
 Although, I would not recommend, for anyone to look within!
The caskets are empty!
You will hear the screams, she is the first one mean!
Hunting you down we will do for certain!
 Beware, of red eyes!
With black coals in the middle, like, a, burning fire!
 One thing remains a fact, on that very day, we will kill and play!
 The only thing that ever brought us peace was the dripping blood as our enemies scream!
The things we keep beneath this earth are the very things that turn nightmares into scenes!
 Darkness with no light!
Pure fire that burns!
 Beware, the stares of the two that they hurt!
Fire, mixed with true blood!
