As beautiful as a rose. <br />And piercing like a thorn. <br />You left your mark on me. <br />And you will be on my mind forever more. <br />Your tongue like a knife. <br />The words cut so deep. <br />Your memory still so fresh to me. <br />Betrayed by my own heart. <br />I am at a loss. <br />You are a curse. <br />A snake in the pale moon light slithering through people's lives. <br />Poisoning them with your venom. <br />You're a demon true to the bone. <br />And now I am forced to hide in the shadows with you.<br /><br />Leah Michelle Ellis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shadow-lurker-2/
