Sinner's Death for Love

Cries heard across the room
Echoes through
The pain is evident from
Your screams
The devil has you on your knees

Are you dying?
And if so are you afraid?

Your answers are filled with riddles, cemented with no regrets
The time has come for you to descend to the pits of hell

Are you ready to go?
What are your regrets?

A smile parades across your bloodstained face with little grace
You look to the sky
And just whisper illicit profanities unbecoming of a lady

Why don't you confess?
Be free of this guilt you possess?

Your smile fades, leaving your
Face in a daze
As your eyes widen in shame
You don't admit your sinful ways
things you did of late
Without faith

You thought yourself invincible
Untouchable even from the clasp of death's hands
Your misfortune was that you didn't believe in such afflictions
You thought yourself superior
The devil with a plan

Now on deaths' bed you lie
Shocked beyond compromise
But still you don't give in
You relish in your sins

There's not much time left
Confess and let go of your regrets, your ego filled with
ill temperament

But nothing comes forth
As your last breath you inhale
A stifled sound you exhale
Death is now a close fate

Still on the floor filled with the filth of your own doing
Your eyes still open

Death from deadly sins
No confessions made
You're off to hells less pearly gates

You die without a vestige
of regret
Still believing yourself invincible

Your eyes flicker unexpected
Returning from deaths' hold
Your mouth whispers a name
A beautiful smile adorns your face as you point with effort
At an empty lifeless space
As if an apparition were there

"All for her I did my deeds to ensure this death would lead me to hell. As her love beckons me, as I've been devoted to only her even in death. When she left my heart she took. And now she's back with it in hand begging me to join her to be her lover once again. So for this, I lived without regrets, ensuring my place in the pits of hell. Just only to see her again..."

"I never thought myself invincible but faith left me the day she died. All I longed for was to be back by her side. She was evil and I was a saint but we fell in love despite the hate. I promised her on her death bed that I would do everything in my power to see her again. So you ask me about regrets. I have all but one and it's not submitting sooner as I see her face now and hear her sweet voice calling my name. So, for her even though in pain, even to a fiery grave, I'd do this all the same. No regrets but one..."

The truth is free and you're out of you worldly misery
For love you sinned to pay your way to hell just to see a wicked lover again

Having no regrets even with the evils of hell
Love caused you to sell your soul

Breath ceases...you die, arm outstretched with a smile
eyes open wide
Love can blind even the innocent and pure of heart

Love the lover
Love the killer
Love deadly love
