Running From Time

Poison (The Tale of Azuranna)

Weary traveler trudging along an endless road of pain
Blisters adorned her feet like jewels, so little kept her sane
She Stumbled upon a deity in his emerald realm
A being of immortal grace with jewels upon his helm
With radiant wings unfurled behind he bowed to her instead
Professing his love and adoration, without her he'd be dead
And then he brought a golden chalice, containing her best life
She could drink and end her troubles if she'd become his wife
Accept his hand, stay by his side, the drought would take effect
It did not take much to fall for him, his charms were quite direct
Finally she accepted the fee, and was promptly swept away
And yet despite his promises, faced troubles every day
And as the days went passing by each dream she would confess
Would magically appear before, yet would not ease her distress
Yet still she could not leave his embrace , she was too far in love
She could do nothing yet pray to the other gods above
He confessed to her several time he was not all he had told
But his words were not believed, what could be beneath pure gold?
A queen with glorious destinies watched her family turn away
No matter how many monsters she defeated, there were always more to slay
Her mind split into pieces, she questioned everything she was
As he guided her to discover old paths, and he had all her trust
She gave him every piece of her, and thought he had done the same
Until he got her sent to hell, revealing his whole game
Guardian angels came storming in, and quickly wrenched her away
And left nursing her withdrawal for months, saw the light of day
Her deity so tenderly loved was a demon in disguise
A master of deceit he had weaved a web of lies
He took her deep desires and tainted them with despair
So she would never want to leave, forever stay in his snare.
His chalice of life held the poison running through her veins
So that over half a year later, she still wonders if she's sane.
