Divided By A Heart
By- Shiva's Avatar
#1 - Walking
My dear stupid child, you were the one who walked away the first time I offered you the world.
#2 - Waltz
Not like your willpower lasted … yes, you briefly resisted the first steps of our waltz, but you simply couldn’t bear to miss a chance to dance with me.
#3 - Wishes
And when you finally succumbed to your dark side, you eagerly told me all the material things you longed for … and did I not cater to those simple desires?
#4 - Wonder
Yet I read the secrets of your soul easily enough … the gleam in your eyes never leaving me to wonder why you truly betrayed your so called friends.
#5 - Worry
Now you spend your nights lying awake … fretting and worrying should those same friends ever find out the dark secret that still resides in your heart.
#6 - Whimsy
Such a sweet, naïve, child you are … I seduced you on a whim, and still you wonder if it might have been out of love.
#7 - Waste/wasteland
How desolate a wasteland your soul was, crying out to me -ME of all people- for a twinge of romantic affection.
#8 - Whiskey and rum
Never understanding that my kiss would be like watering that wasteland with whiskey … my touch fertilizing it like rum …
#9 - War
… us both well knowing that I’m about as good for that savanna you call a soul, as nuclear war would be for this pitiful little world.
#10 - Weddings
Yet even now, you continue to delude yourself … dreaming of our wonderful white wedding …
#11 - Birthday
… wasting valuable time sending me heart shaped valentines, and clown covered invitations to your birthday parties.
#12 - Blessing
Yet I’ll not spurn your advances in the slightest, as childish as they may be … in fact I’ll accept them with a smile, will even ladle you with my blessings.
#13 - Bias
I’m more then happy, to allow you to earn the prejudice of your so called friends …
#14 - Burning
… in fact, I’ll continue to toy with your emotions till you’re consumed by your own burning passion for me, laughing all the while.
#15 - Breathing
And when you finally fall, I’ll step over your body without a qualm … looking back only to check and make you’re no longer breathing.
#16 - Breaking
I’ve even come to enjoy the process of pushing you to your breaking point … curious as to how much it will take to shatter your porcelain heart.
#17 - Belief
My darling Raimundo, you are much too eager to believe that I return your feeble affections.
#18 - Balloon
Hmmm … I wonder, does it make me a bad person to enjoy fondling the pin I will use to pop your pretty red balloon?
#19 - Balcony
Enjoy finding the words that will make you hurl yourself from Juliet’s balcony?
#20 - Bane
You were my greatest boon, my greatest bane … releasing me and then returning me to my oaken prison.
#21 - Quiet
Something I won’t forgive you for, though I may nurse the wound in silence.
#22 - Quirks
I suppose a child would miss it … but hell hath no fury as a woman scorned … rage is not one of my more endearing quirks, my dear Raimundo.
#23 - Question
Simple, simple child … you don’t even realize you declaration of love is more of an askance then a proclamation.
#24 - Quarrel
Not that I’m about to quarrel with you over the semantics of it all
#25 - Quitting
You’re the fool betting everything on a single hand of cards … too stupid to fold and withdraw while you’re ahead.
#26 - Jump
Do you really think I’ll leap to your aid once you’ve lost everything … tell me, are you really such a simpleton?
#27 - Jester
To me you are jester, nothing more … an amusement to be discarded once I tire of it.
#28 - Jousting
You may think yourself a knight, pledging your heart to me … but I’ll send you to joust for my honor without a care about your survival.
#29 - Jewel
Perhaps … when I’ve finished with you, I’ll pluck out those emeralds you call eyes …
#30 - Just
… poetic justice for the body you robbed me of … a chance for you to “see” how little you really mean to me.
#31 - Smirk
And I wonder … how fast will your signature smirk die when I rip off your rose colored veil?
#32 - Sorrow
Will sorrow crush you completely when your forced to confront reality … or will you again try to rebel against my magnificence?
#33 - Stupidity
For I would consider it a guilty pleasure to hold your chin, and force you to relieve your own idiocy time and time again.
#34 - Serenade
Would take savage delight in adding your screams into the chorus of a suffering choir … serenading my immortality with their screams of torment.
#35 - Sarcasm
Soon you will see dear child … my darling little marionette … I do so “love” you so.
#36 - Sordid
Love how you delude yourself into thinking your fighting for something grand … when you fight only for this disgustingly little hell of a world.
#37 - Soliloquy
And though, I suppose, it doesn’t matter … I wonder who you will curse in your final soliloquy … your foolish heart, or me … not that it matters as the curtains slam close …
#38 - Sojourn
For you will fall … this temporary peace, this sojourn from my fury … all of it ends the moment I again become corporeal.
#39 - Share
I would have willing shared the world with you, my dear Raimundo …
#40 - Solitary
… but do not fool yourself into thinking that I am averse to being a solitary monarch.
#41 - Nowhere
Still though … I do wonder … why me … was there nowhere else your desperate heart could latch on to?
#42 - Neutral
I have wondered the corridors of your brain … have seen the world of grays your mind contains … a world at war with the extremes your heart possesses.
#43 - Nuance
Such confusing conflicting forces … you’re willing to risk life and limb to protect friends you hardly respect … and fight me just so I must take note as an annoying gnat.
#44 - Near
You would gladly slit your wrists at my command, just to be near my fleshless form …
#45 - Natural
… and you think it natural to want to die in such a way … no doubt your last words would be an apology for making a mess on my tiled floor.
#46 - Horizon
You’re such a simple child … thinking every time the sun crests the horizon, it’s a new day for you to win over my heart.
#47 - Valiant
As if your valiant martyr role, could ever really turn me from my eternal quest of world domination …
#48 - Virtuous
… as if your virtuous sacrifice of self, is enough to change the essence of who and what I am.
#49 - Victory
You don’t understand, my dear Raimundo … that victory over the world will one day be mine … and on that day … my dear dear child … I will slay you for daring to spurn the gift I once offered you.
#50 - Defeat
I will remember though, that your intentions were solely intended to gain my love … as foolish as that was … and will dispatch you swiftly with one poison kiss … will grant you absolution from your betrayal … will reward your heart’s disturbing loyalty … it will be my last gift to you, my dear Raimundo, to grant you death rather then let you suffer the humiliation of defeat.
