So here's where the poetry corner is... This is actually a song I wrote for a character of mine, Thea Moonbeam. She could have had ultimate power in the multiverse, gave it up for love, but was betrayed and murdered by her lover.
Sweet As Death (Thea's Song)
Once you were singing,
Softly, sweetly
Singing in the brightest daylight
Only you, my love,
Could've sung so fair a tune.
Hours in the sunlight playing
Softly, sweetly
Knotting worries into chains of daisies
You, my love,
Could touch my soul.
Then I heard you,
Softly, sweetly,
Whispering the evil's words
You, my love,
Had sold your soul.
I saw you then,
Softly, sweetly,
Light before the darkness fleeing
Once my love,
But now no more.
Blackest night comes
Softly, sweetly
Treading on the lightest paws
No, my love,
Never coming any more.
Felt you touch me,
Softly, sweetly,
Darker than the moonlight shadows
Felt, my love,
You crush my heart.
Blood is flowing,
Softly, sweetly
Red as the cursed moon above
Held my love
As I lay dying.
Felt the darkness then surround me
Softly, sweetly
Like a friend.
But friends no more, when you my love
Traded your heart for something more.
Love was sweet, but sweeter still,
Softly, sweetly,
Came the lure of power.
So great it was, my love
That you gave your lovers life.
Now I slumber,
Softly, sweetly,
Somewhere between heaven and earth
Waiting, my love
For one last kiss forevermore.
