The Mask

...and danced to the tune of love?

An illusion!
The creature was no Angel
But she smiled and smiled in its arms
It hurt her when it tightened grip
Nails sinking into her tender flesh
She struggled to let herself free
"Don't leave me here, I shall perish"
It cried, with the angelic mask on
Alas, she was still in her dreams
"I am not to leave. Poor thing..my angel"

She let it strangle her.

She smiled, even as its grip was tight
Suffocated, she jerked in pain
She struggled to let herself free
"Don't leave me here, I shall perish
Without you, there is nothing but darkness
You are my life
You are my light"
She seldom realized it was a mirage
"I am not to leave. Poor thing.. my angel"

She let it strangle her.

Staying on in its hurtful grip
She realized she had no escape
For her heart was tender and true.
Her angel had come for nothing,
But to rescue her from the 'big bad world', remember?
The very thought of leaving seemed like a crime

She stayed there, and let it strangle.

Many a time it roared so strong
She collapsed, unconscious into its arms
And as she opened her eyes, exhausted,
It would quickly put its mask on
And cry, even more heart wrenchingly

"Don't leave me here, I shall perish
Without you, there is nothing but darkness
You are my life
You are my light
You are the very meaning of my birth"
She smiled and smiled with love,
And let it lay on her wounded shoulder

It rose from there stepping on her weak feet
And from there it climbed to her waist
On her shoulders, then her head.
She smiled- "yes, my angel has grown up
He's strong and happy and ready to fly"
It burst her veins, drinking her blood to grow stronger

She remained smiling

Until it trampled her under its feet
Drained her of her soul and blood
And grew to a size of a monster
Tearing the angelic mask  into shreds

Its face grinned a cruel grin,
While sucking in her last drop of blood.
