Tainted, Morbid, And Twisted - Alayna Turney (i am reading a book .TXT) 📗

"I Died For Love"

I lay here on the ground
With no one but myself around.
I look up at the sky,
For I can not move my eyes.
I stare straight ahead
At the vast skies undead.
As I lay here in the cold,
I start to to think of my old
Memories, to think of the tears i cried
For him and I,
To See it all fade away,
But I had to find a way,
Through the darkness that threatens to cover me.
We were meant to be my love and me.
I am dying for love you see?
I did it for love.
As I lie here in the night I spot a dove
fly above.
It is a sign you know of peace and love.
And that was it the darkness covered me,
I was eternally lost for my love you see?

"Death is Beautiful"

Have you ever stared at a wilting flower,
That is dying by the hour?
Have you ever noticed how beautiful it is,
As it awaits death's kiss?
Have you ever noticed the grace, As the petals fall on your face?
Death is beautiful and slow
and you notice it has an unnatural glow.
The glow it has is silver.
It is like a sliver
Of light being enclosed by night.
Have you ever Watched a dying rose
That the Darkness has enclosed?
Have you ever noticed the petals changing,
As they are dangling
Have you ever noticed the rose shrivel,
As it's beauty becomes dark and evil
Have you ever watch a dying rose fly,
As the wind carries it away?
Death is beautiful and slow
And you notice it has an unearthly flow
So Peaceful and calm
As you hold the dying flower in your palm.

"I Would Kill For Beauty"

Me this ugly old troll.
I would love to live in a hole,
To hide my face from those with beauty.
Oh! What I would do for beauty and grace,
To wear beautiful gowns with lace,
To marry prince charming,
And to never be alarming.
Beauty takes one look and runs away
Oh! I would kill for beauty anyway
All those with their beautiful vanity
And me this ugly old manatee.
I would do anything to walk with grace,
To have a beautiful pallid face,
To spin and dance across a floor,
But me I'm covered in gore.
I would kill the most beautiful queen,
Just to be seen,
As a timeless Pretty.
I would kill for beauty.

"Forever Asleep"

As the sun goes down,
There is not a sound.
The silence slices the night
And I close my eyes tight.
I think of the woman in the castle,
Who closed her eyes one night,
And never again saw the light.
I felt cold to the core
To think of the poor
Girl in the tower.
They say she held a black flower,
As she closed her eyes
Facing the skies
She never awoke again.
She lie there in the tower,
Holding here dead flower,
Her pallid face framed with her black hair,
Her long fragile body covered with white linens so fair,
Her face so peaceful,
Her skin so cold,
The young woman sleeps forever ,
But for me, I will sleep tonight

"Love Is Fake"

The three words you should never say
Are the words that make you lay
Awake and cry,
When you realize they were a lie.
The three words that end up fake
Are the words that make you ache
And feel unloved.
The three words that make you feel safe and loved
Are the words that leave you lost,
When you realize the cost,
When you realize how much you depend
On the other end.
The three words "I Love You",
Those words just a few,
Are the words that leave you broken,
When that love is gone.
All love makes you ache.
All love is fake.

"The World"

If the world came crashing down today,
I would lie down by the bay
And watch as the world turned to chaos,
As the evil rose and the good fell.
I would lie down by the bay
If the world cam falling down tonight,
I would lie down on my right,
And watch as the world was covered by eternal night,
As the darkness covered the world and the vanished.
I would lie down on my right.
If the world's evilest soldiers rose behind my back,
i would lie down on my stomach,
And watch as the soldiers attacked,
As the evil prevailed and good died.
I would lie down on my stomach.
If the world's light saved all God's people in front of me,
I would get up and follow,
And watch as the world I Once knew died,
As the world was no longer lit by the sun, the moon, and stars.
I would get up and follow the light.

"The Ocean"

As I stand on this shore line, I believe the world can be mine. I feel incredible and unbelievable, but the ocean is undeniable. As its warm salty water washes over my feet and over the ashed of my lost brethren, I feel my life drain from my body. The knife I hold falls within the water's reach landing on the warm wet beach. The water grabs the murderous knife and takes it like the wind takes a kite. I feel the sun on my back and the salty air's attack. I feel beaten down and bruised, I feel drained and use.
Those men, who out of anger, put my brethren in danger. These men burned my brothers bodies into dust, but the ocean's waves wash their dust away by dusk. And I, who out of rage killed the men like a wild beast out of its cage, fall to my knees with my wild pleas. I feel shame for what I've done so I wade into the water's depths and unto my death.

"Death And Life"

If death is black
And life is white
Then what is it when you walk
Just out of sight
When you're just a shadow in the background
When every person in this town
Ignore your every move, your every word
What is it when you walk as if life meant nothing, And death is just around the corner?
If death is dark
And life is light
Then what is it when your heart is cold
And your steps Silent
When you sleep and dream of nothing
And you look but see neither life nor death
What is it when your life is turned
Upside down and you are still expected not to fall?

"Dying For You"

I lie here on this cold, wet grass
Hoping that the pain will pass
Hoping my limbs will go numb
As i lay here in this gloom
Waiting for my doom
I lie here with frost settling on my skin
Hoping my kin
Not think me a fool
For falling for you
I lie here with the wind stinging my face
Hoping for God's grace
Thinking of the words that shattered my soul
The few small words "I Love You"
Those words you said to me
Are like Poisonous caresses I can't see
I lie here cold and alone
Feeling my heart slow
Thinking of you.
I was such a fool
Now here I am dying for you
On this night so cool
I lie here waiting for the darkness
To take me to His holyness
But all i feel is this ire night
With only the stars for light
I think of you
And how i was such a fool
To think you really loved me
But now I can see
That love is an illusion
That love and reality are never in unison
That love rips your heart from your chest
And leaves you hopeless
That love is poison
And love is death
Because love made me die for you!
