"Finding oneself in such murderous shame
Playing roulette with a flower,"
-Chiodos "There's No Penguins in Alaska"
Petals of white litter the floor
You keep removing them
o n e by o n e
from the pile of flowers on your left.
You're afraid
afraid of the outcome.
"Evil."
"Good."
The words escape your lips slowly
barely more than a whisper.
Your heart skips a bEaT every time
the vile, condemning word leaves your tongue.
"Evil."
"Good."
"E V I L."
The word rings through the room
as the last of the petals
d r i f t s
slowly to the floor along with the rest.
Your sentence echoes in your ears
and you can almost hear the rest
of his followers
laughing along to your misery.
You knew it the whole time that you're
no better
than any of them.
That doesn't keep the sting of realization
from hitting your heart
(if you even have one now.)
You, Regulus Arcturus Black
you're evil
you're vile
you're a monster
and you can deny it all you wish
but, deep down, you know
the petals never lie.
The lyrics at the top belong to Chiodos.
Asdfgghjkl, I haven't written anything in, like, forever! Hopefully you guys haven't forgotten me...

This is really short, but it was more just to kick my muse back in shape. Hopefully it's enjoyable ^_^
Thanks mew for betaing!
