The Pact
It's already too late
I step through the door into the alley
I've been waiting for you to arrive
A stranger in red with a mad voice calls
Your fall from grace is complete
Who are you? I demand
The beast who deceives
Where are you from?
Diabolical dreams
Turning I tell the stranger, I should go
You won’t get your secret desires
My secret desires?
Those things you're afraid to speak of
I’m not afraid, I assure you
You are a sleeping lamb, little fawn
The alley around me falls cold and silent
Want to rule the world?
The stranger in red steps closer
Have anyone you lust after?
Sulfur fills the air with their breath
Give in, it's easy if you try
I feel myself trapped in a strange trance
Spill the blood of a butterfly
What, I barely whisper
Let it run warm over your hands
Icy fingers of fear wrap around my spine
Lost soul, your dead dreamer is here
A scream escapes my lips
Shhh, it only hurts when you die
Please, I want to leave. I beg
Leave, we've only just begun
I have to agree, I haven't agreed
You agreed with your first sin
My flesh burns hot with the fire of brimstone
The number of my name is upon you
What happens now? I tremble, my voice hoarse
You have anything you want, cursed one
And after? I implore
You burn
The beast answers

Bloody hell, this almost scared me straight!
Very well written.
Oh wow, that was so dark and intense! I freaking loved it!
Sounds like someone talking to my Ex.
