Vengeance
Vengeance. The all consuming word.
Will free my soul and feed my nerve.
Laced with hate and poison this dish I serve.
I lie in wait, repulsed I watch you smile,
your blood still flows, I feel the bile,
rise up my throat. I wait a while.
Now you're alone beneath the dark moon,
my steps to you, they come too soon,
Your mind has no time to attune.
You kiss the ground, cold, hard and red,
Forgetting again the words once said,
Goodnight my love, it's time for bed.
Will free my soul and feed my nerve.
Laced with hate and poison this dish I serve.
I lie in wait, repulsed I watch you smile,
your blood still flows, I feel the bile,
rise up my throat. I wait a while.
Now you're alone beneath the dark moon,
my steps to you, they come too soon,
Your mind has no time to attune.
You kiss the ground, cold, hard and red,
Forgetting again the words once said,
Goodnight my love, it's time for bed.

Beyond amazing. Perfectly achieves the level of darkness and sombre reflection that I myself often strive for.

Very dark...You did total justice to the title I feel...Couldn't have written in a better way...
"Laced with hate and poison this dish i serve".....I love this line in particular!

I'm not usually keen on rhyme, but it's used so effectively here that you've changed my mind. I relly like it.
