i was but a mist

I WAS BUT A MIST

I WAS BUT A MIST
WHEN LAST I SAW HER
CREEPING LIKE THE GHOST I AM
FORMED BY MY NEED
AND COLD AND WANTING
SHE WHO CAUSED MY SOUL BE DAMNED

I FLOATED INTO
DARKENED ROOM TO
SEE MY LIVING LOVER LIE
MIDST FETID SHEETS
AND SHATTERED MINDS
SHE FOR WHOM SO MANY DIE

DRAWING NEAR I LOOK
IN ANGUISH SEE HER
NAKED ALTHOUGH NOT ALONE
WEAVING WEBS OF LUST
SHE DRAWS HIM INWARD
TO THAT DARK PLACE WHERE I HAD GONE

LIKE ALL BEFORE HIM
HE SEES HER ONLY
DEAF TO WARNING CALL I CRIED
SHE SMILES AT ME AND
SMILES AT HIM AND SMILES
AT THE ONE WHO WAS THERE WHEN I DIED

HE LIES THERE BLEEDING
MAD EYES WATCHING
SOURCE OF LIFE BE RIPPED AWAY
AS I LAY WATCHING
THERE BEFORE HIM
SHE FUCKED HIM ON MY DIEING DAY

CRUEL RUTTING SLUT
OH HEARTLESS BEAUTY
SHE LAFFS AND CUMS AS HE DIES
SHE STROKES HER LATEST
LOVER/VICTIM
BIDS HIM CLOSE THE DEAD MANS EYES

I HOVER AS I
WATCH THE SPIRIT
RISING FROM ITS FLESHLY BOND
IN TERROR STARK
AND NEVER ENDING
CALLED NOW BY DARKER ONES HES GONE

AND STILL FOR JUST ONE
SINGLE MOMENT MORE
NO PRICE TOO DEAR TO PAY
SHE LOOKS UPON ME
SMILES UPON ME
TURNS HER EMPTY HEART AWAY

FOR I AM BUT MIST
AND SHE IS OF FLESH
AND BLOOD THE COIN OF HER LIFE
WITH NOTHING TO GIVE HER
BUT SHADOWS OF SUF’RING
I SLIP INTO DARKNESS AND OUT OF HER LITE
