Lament Of Valentine

By: Zack G. (Z.A.G.)

I have no feelings, have no soul,

My heart is as black as coal.

My hands are stained with blood,

My life is as worthless as mud.

People stare at me, wondering what I am,

I'm a demon, a person who's damned.

Inside this empty shell crawls a monster,

I hide it inside with all the strength I can muster.

Memories of my horrid past haunt me to no end,

Dreams and reality seem to blend.

I used to be full of confidence and pride,

Now I have streaks down my cheeks from when I've cried.

People used to fear my name,

Things have changed, it's no longer the same.

All bad things, I'd be the one who gets the blame,

Just because of the people I've slain.

They no longer see the man underneath this crimson cloak,

Not evening caring how my heart was broke.

Blame them I cannot, for I am no longer that lad,

For that, I'm actually glad.

Now everyone will be able to see this dreaded thing,

Treating me as if I'm nothing.

The pain I go through, I'd go through again,

Just to atone for my god awful sin.

I'll wait an eternity till my scars are mend,

As long as I'm worthy to be with these people... my friends.

They don't stare at me like the others do,

They see me as fascinating and something new.

So now I'll lay down to atone,

I'll sleep an eternity in this coffin made of stone.

When my being is no longer driven by malice,

Perhaps then, I'll be able to find some solace.

And that's it everyone! I hope you enjoyed this poem! I don't know if it's any good. Maybe I should try writing one about a different character. lol. Well see y'all later!
