Red Veiled Bride

Wedding day.

Beautiful bride, Handsome groom.

He proposed a year ago.

"Divine love, my heart longs to be with you for eternity.

I love who you are.

Your heart,

Your body,

Your soul.

I look past what you have done.

We will paint the town red.

Hearing the screams of agony arise from the city

As we approach the gates of Hell.

We act as one.

No guilt.

No pity.

No mercy.

Just us and the purged population.

So my Queen of Hearts,

Will you be my Red Veiled Bride?"

His heart pounding as he waits for her answer.

Her angelic awe-stricken face

Her porcelain tears trailing down her cheeks.

They made the perfect couple.

His greed, Her bloodlust

Together they shall conquer the underworld

She replied with words from her heart:

"If I'm you're Juliette, you're my knife.

If you're my Romeo, I'm you're poison.

Our attraction and addiction

Will bring us together and endanger us

You are the red rose in my field of dandelions.

I would say that you are my sunshine in my grey sky but that's cliché.

Every day I spend with you is another dancing victim in shackles.

Yes, I will marry you and your lovely black heart."

They were both grinning

with a blood stained smile.
