Christine

The name burns me

The name I must not speak

Or think

But long to…

It is holy fire

Against my black demon's heart

And yet…

It is a pleasant burning

It makes me feel…

Almost…

Human

But not quite

I will never be

I am a monster

A beast

A thing

I do not deserve life

I know this

I have finally learned it

And I agree

But she…

No

It was all a façade

A joke

A mask

Just to save the boy

But at the time…

It felt so…

Real?

Right?

Perfect?

No, it was a lie

It was my first kiss

My only kiss

Could she not feel

How much I loved her?

Or could she

And just not care

But it matters not

She has left

And I am alone

Beaten

Broken

Dying

Just like I deserve

To have a taste of life

And have it taken away

Why did I start to hope?

I knew I shouldn't have

Keep away from the edge

I didn't

And I fell…

Fell in love

But kept falling

And falling

Until I hit the bottom

I am ready to die

I welcome it

With open arms

The fires of hell

Seem tame

Now that I have tasted

The fires

Of love

The ugliest creature

Felt the most beautiful love

Her love

Christine's love

Hello death
