JUst wanted to say all credit goes to maxam. really good poem(:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once upon a blood-red moon,

Upon the orange and dusty dune,

There sat a girl in a wine-red dress,

crying tears of pain.

"My heart is broken, torn in two,

my lover hath bid me adieu

I shall not love, no, nevermore!"

Thus begins the story of Evermore.

~

Evermore was a lonely child,

she grew up cursed, unloved, and wild.

But she had a heart as pure as snow,

her love lasted Everafter.

But alas, the world was blind,

and let Evermore slip behind

~

She'd often sit and cry at night,

telling herself it would be alright,

saying that she'd find love one day,

though she knew it was all a lie.

~

one night, in the midst of the pain and strife,

she finally found the love of her life.

She found love on the blade of a knife,

slicing through her beautiful arm

~

She watched the blood flow, crimson red,

she watched it drop and stain her bed.

She watched the blade glow, glistening silver,

as it slowly cut her arm.

~

The scars, the scars, they were hard to hide,

evidence of the pain inside,

so she bought a claret dress to conceal

the blood that was dripping out.

~

The cruel world found even more

reasons to hate this little whore

The poor, lonely, loving girl,

who only needed a chance.

~

One night she sat and softly sang

just as the midnight bells rang

Evermore's lullaby.

"I only want love, please listen to me.

If only you would listen, stop and see.

I Only need love, this is my plea.

If only you love me, I will love thee."

Meanwhile, a stranger rode

Into the place of Evermore's abode...
