Hello new comers of the twisted and horrifing story known as Requiem! And perhaps some of you coming back for seconds, welcome! I am going back through the story to fix a few typos and correct some missleading Author's Notes.

Now, to you new comers, consider yourselves warned! You have only to read some of the reviews of the later chapters to know what you are about to read is not for those of you easily scared or perhaps not a weak stomach.

Don't say I didn't warn you!


Requiem

Oh how I long to close my eyes, not haunted by regret!
To lead my life, pure and free, oh how I covet!
To cease the flow of my sanity, a tourniquet,
My requiem of heart echoes in my head.

The things you say cannot be done.
For the thrill of killing, for life, for fun.
The feel of blood upon your skin, warm as rays of sun,
I am the requiem of your mind.

Begone, foul demon! How deeply I wish the angels would turn you in!
For staining my soul red with crimson sin!
Nevermore are the days I fall to you, I will not let you in!
My requiem of soul echoes in my head.

You cannot deny me what is already mine,
Do not attempt to break free, do not try and defy.
Admit the tear of flesh bring you alive,
I am the requiem of your sin.

Ha! Such conceit! You do not liven, only depress!
My envy burns bright for those who s minds are strong, untainted, blessed.
But I shall not let your words pull me down once more, it is you I shall always detest!
My requiem of will echoes in my head.

Why must you fight this hopeless battle, one doomed to your fall?
Try not to oppose me, give up now, and we can have it all!
All the blood to quench our thirst, all the screams to heed death s call!
I am the requiem of your spirit.

Fool! You do not care for me, only for the blood, and to you I cut my ties!
You promised me relief, an end to my pain, but I was the sacrifice!
These things you never intended to give, only to pull me into your vice!
My requiem of betrayal echoes in my mind.

The truth you think you utter, but you fail to see the light!
You yearned to be rid of the numbness, and I brought you to life!
Each soul you took was sweeter than the last, souls lost to your spite!
I am the requiem of your escape.

Do not speak such things! It is you I shall always despise!
You took me from myself, drowned me in your lies!
It ends here tonight, you hear my words? Here under the moonlit sky!
Here my last requiem shall fade and die!


heh, I felt like being dramatic up there. I hope you new comers enjoy the story and second time readers appriciate the corrected typos.

Enjoy!
