Poem by PineCat

A hurt soul lingered upon me   
With long black waves of hair   
Her piercing black eyes stared fiercely   
At me with such despair   
  
She had markings on her body   
There was one on her arm   
That caught my eye quite rapidly   
As if to bring alarm   
  
It was an inverted black star   
Like it had called my name   
My attention did not draw far   
As if it were in vain   
  
Her angelic features rain down   
On me like golden beams   
Of radiant light during sundown   
Or so to me it seems   
  
I followed her down a black road   
As the sun descended   
Behind us light no longer glowed   
Distantly a bird crowed   
  
Filling my body with shivers   
The sound crawled up my spine   
Warning me of lurking dangers   
Though she made it seem fine   
  
She strode with such a confidence   
And walked in a fast pace   
With a demeanor for vengeance   
Yet in her walk lived grace   
  
Further we walked into darkness   
Isolated from man   
My eyesight narrowed with blindness   
I felt like a dead man   
  
The earth was like a corpse tonight   
No longer this felt okay   
Her body was far out of sight   
I knew I'd gone astray   
  
Now stuck in the midst of nowhere   
By my lonesome I walked   
I begin to chant a prayer   
Feels like I'm being stalked   
  

 I turn 'round and gape at nothing   
Only blackness and cold   
Trapped in an abyss of haunting   
In Satan's cruel threshold   
  
I realize where I am at now   
Trembling with fear I shake   
Eager to escape fate somehow   
Wishing that this is fake   
  
I fall to my knees as they give   
Seeking for forgiveness   
Of sinful acts that I've outlived   
My burning consciousness   
  
Zoning back to memories   
That I chose to forget   
Now damning me with grim furies   
Making sure I'll regret   
  
The ground started to burn and crack   
Fiery hell broke loose   
I was the centre of attack   
And I had no excuse   
  
He threw his wrath upon my soul   
My plea for mercy mute   
My voice weak, I yearn for console   
Aware he'll execute   
  
His voice deep with love of hatred   
Unearthly it did sound   
And mimicked me as I waited   
Echoed as it spun 'round   
  
"I've been keeping note of you, Sir"   
His words were loud and clear   
There were no signs of his figure   
Yet I knew he was near   
  
"Satan have mercy on me, please"   
Was all I could manage   
Before my voice had cracked and seized   
My words at a shortage   
  
He told me "no need to worry,   
Son, I'll make you a bet"   
He'd release me of misery   
And free me of my debt   
  

 If I brought him back a sinner   
I was free to leave Hell   
So my search began at dinner   
Waiting for night to dwell
