To dedicate your entire life to beauty
You must first fall in love with evil itself
Dance with madness at midnight
Love the demon and the angel alike
Kiss the mistakes til’ they are faultless
Honor the rightful place of indispensable wrongs
Sacrifice malignant delinquencies
Burn the angels of whom take away the balance of good and evil
Let mistakes guide your path through life
Find the beauty buried deep beneath the skin of what many perceive to be ugly
Learn to look for a light in the darkness
And now you see the beauty of it all.

and put his blood in a cup

As if he had a choice
to be or not to be
such a silly phrase
to be my meal, was he

He was still alive
yet so close to death
“I loved you,” said I
and he took his last breath
