The reason why? I got part of this stuck in my head, I'll tell you what at the end, and I had to get it out, it was both annoying and a little disturbing. Since I'm always up for getting criticism, whether good or bad, I'm putting it up. Oh, and I'm not really sure if this is clean or not, so if you guys think it should be marked as Adult, I'll do that instead. Anyways... Listen [here](%5C)\u0026nbsp;for how the cadence goes.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI decided that I'd tell you all\n\nAnd as all of you now know\n\nA terrible person lies inside\n\nThe kindness just a show\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI had my blade, I'd found the one\n\nIt really wasn't hard\n\nA quick lean to the middle\n\nAs if we weren't to part\n\nThen began the ending\n\nOf a love doomed from the start\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMy fingers wrapped around the hilt\n\nI drew it from the sheath\n\nI put an arm around the neck\n\nOf the life I'd picked to take\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe steel flashed through the air\n\nAnd soon it met her flesh\n\nA look of shock upon her face\n\nWas all that I was left\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe wound agape and crying red\n\nAs blood began to flow\n\nI felt the life-force ebb away\n\nThe pulse began to slow\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWith nothing more except a smile\n\nI laid her on the ground\n\nAnd then I gave her just one gift\n\nThe slightest touch of lips\n\nA kiss for the afterlife\n\nWhere we were soon to meet\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMoments later I met her there\n\nWith little more than a shrug\n\nI explained myself, an angel\n\nA Fallen from on high\n\nOnce rejoicing in the Light\n\nNow commanding for the Night\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt was then I gave the choice\n\n\"Live again or die.\"\n\nI told her what would happen\n\nWith either choice she'd make\n\nWhether it was good or bad\n\nWas the chance she'd have to take\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Should you chose to live again\n\nYou'll join me in the Night.\n\nBut should you chose your death right now\n\nI swear to you I'll do my best\n\nTo bar you from the Light.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe fear set in, I knew it would\n\nThe mortal's fear of death\n\nLittle more than words were used\n\nAnd then she chose my path\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI held to her my outstretched paw\n\nShe grasped it firm in hand\n\nThe smallest grin upon my face\n\nWas all I had to show\n\nBefore we both returned again\n\nTo the world you all know\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nOnce more leaning over her\n\nMy lips were pressed to hers\n\nI raised my head and smiled\n\nLocking with her eyes\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer gaze, it was different now\n\nNot worried much with life\n\nThey seemed to be intrigued with me\n\nWith what I'd left to hide\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI took the knife, I pulled it out\n\nThe sound was sickening\n\nOr perchance, it would have been\n\nTo one who was unlike me\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe gasped at first, feeling pain\n\nBut soon she realized\n\nThat such little things as this\n\nWouldn't be her again\n\nI'd freed her from her life\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt was done, her soul was sold\n\nHer mortal life was gone\n\nInstead her life began anew\n\nOn a path far from the sun\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nBut tonight would be a night\n\nPurely that of joy\n\nI found a place, she joined me there\n\nI spent the night with her\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAnd when we woke up in the morn\n\nWe both were arm in arm\n\nAn embrace, a small souvenir\n\nFrom the night before aglow\n\nWith a smile, and a kiss\n\nWe rolled away, we spilt\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe went her own way that day\n\nWith nothing left to mark her\n\nNot even a line of scar\n\nI haven't seen her since\n\nA new demoness in hiding\n\nAs a brown-furred wolfess.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nYes, I know it doesn't always rhyme, but I'm not a poet and this is just straight out of my head and onto the screen. Now, for you guys to understand why I had to at least write it down, is I had the 5th stanza stuck in my head while I was trying to sleep. It's bothersome and kinda creepy to have that playing over and over, so I got it out. Now, on the subject of my 14th chapter, I'm workin on it, shouldn't be too much longer. Anyway, that's all for now.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
