The Curse


I have made more mistakes in one life than many others...

...all to bind our fortunes, damned what the world says!

We opened our hearts – opened our souls – to the deals of another.

You promised we could be together for years to come, but all I have seen is betrayal and envy.

A winding weaving fate of which we both atone.

And yet – despite everything I did for you – you flee from my side come the morning.

Once smelled of lavender and roses, but now I see what I've become.

My golden, inhuman, eyes glisten in the tears of yours.

I vowed to follow the crow into the storm...

...But beyond that storm, was nothing but a Merchant...

Wares and Gifts on offer, wishes granted, but not our wants.

Gifts plagued with curses, fire, dismay and loss...

When I returned to hold you in a heated embrace – you fled from my hands come morning.

Once smelled of lavender and roses, but now I see what I've become

My golden, inhuman, eyes glisten in the tears of yours.

I know I made promises – ones I will never complete as one. Or if by lies I have been punished for them.

Bound by a mistaken wish, all those years ago, all I ever wish for is to see your eyes again.

But when you see the face I've become – you will flee come morning.

My golden, inhuman, eyes glisten in the tears of yours.


Author Note - What did you think?

These are lyrical pieces I am practising and I would love to get some feedback on them by you all. If you are up to date with the Knights of Grimm then you have a pretty good idea of what this song means. If you are not, then I am curious to see if you can figure out what this is and whose perspective it is from.

This is based around the Knights of Grimm and I am trying to improve my poetic and lyrical pieces through Fanfiction. So please don't fear being as critical as you want.

Please review and let me know your thoughts!
