Sweeney Todd Fanfic #2...I have no life, but I enjoy writing very dark things poems...
Anyway, I do not own Sweeney Todd, his hair or his shiny razor blades.
Or Mrs. Lovett's hair for that matter.
No one knew it, but Mrs.Lovett loved to dance
She says it gives her a power she could never find on the grim Fleet Street
She could not even find that power in making her award-winning pies
Appetizing
But dancing
Flowed into her unguarded cracks she hid from
Mr.Todd
Oh how she wanted him
His mess of hair taunted Mrs.Lovett
Day into
Night
Night into day
No one was more intriguing than Mr Sweeney Todd
Not even Mrs.Lovett's dead husband could compare
But, as she gazed out the pie shop's window that night
She spoke aloud
" He'll never love me as I love him,"
Making sure he wouldn't hear
For if he did
She would have to deal with his unatural wrath
And as she heard a soft strain of music fluttering by her ear
She moved
One arm
Than two
Above her head into a round halo
Palms up, as if accepting an offering most dear
Fit for an angel
Maybe
But not for her
Sighing
She thought intently
And brought up a picture of Sweeney Todd
Pacing in ominous circles
Waiting for his next kill
As if it were a kind of new-fangled drug
She stomped her foot
stomp
On the dusty floor
Clouding her like a thick layer of evening fog
Adrenaline ran through her blood
Juicy for more
And as her pain became her dance
Mrs.Lovett stood rigid
Then fell into her flesh
Sinking into her own pit of despair
Hesitant
Yet
Strangely at peace
She slammed againist the wall
slam
Ran to her oven
Then cowered away as if it were Sweeney
Brandishing a blade
And thus the dance truly began
An undescribable thing
Dancing it was
It is
Always will be
Desperation filled her heart
And she started to panic
Moving faster
And faster
Until
She stopped
Suddenly
By a man in her way
And of course it could be no other than
Sweeney Todd
The air hung with the silence that ensued
Mrs.Lovett stood
Scared
Trembling in fright of his menacing eyes
Looking her over
Intently
Still on her high from the dance
Mrs.Lovett stood taller
Not afraid anymore
"If he were to kill me then life wouldn't have to hurt so much,"
She realized
And so she barred Mr.Todd's way
So that if he were in the mood to
Dine on her throat
She would be waiting for the blade to come
Ever so sweetly
But instead Sweeney Todd
With a an anguished sigh
Turned and stormed out of the room
Without a word
Stunned Mrs.Lovett started to sob
"For no reason at all,"
She thought
For as she crumpled onto the floor
She did not notice her
Love
Having snuck back to the doorway
He stared
And some say he died on the spot
From the mere sadness that filled the room
But the truth
Was
And will be
His single tear that slipped from his everlasting bloodshot eye.
Okay, that kinda turned out differently than I thought...
Well, I guess reviews will be helpful...so comment away!
