POEM - THE MARK OF CAIN

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Okay  so as well as giving me vivid nightmares, S9 seems to be bringing out my inner poet! I hope this isn't too Vogon-like!

The Mark of Cain

The pain is constant, always there
So familiar now it’s like a friend
It keeps you grounded, makes you care
About what happens in the end



The pleasure is new, almost surprising
So overwhelming, but it makes you calm
It means there’s no compromising
And for your soul it is a balm



The hunger is incessant, taking over
So insidious and compelling
It pushes the pain down lower
Pleasure is now dispelling



The Blade is everything, it has you gripped
So voracious and demanding
It means that you can never quit
Until you’re the last man standing



The Mark throbs and it burns
As it calls to the Blade
Your head shakes and turns
As the memories fade



The Mark has you, nothing to be done
So your fate has been sealed
It seems the course must be run
And your brother must be killed

Chilling. Just chilling and horrifying, but so well written. Love it. :)

Thank you, chilling and horrifying was my aim so that's great! I think Dean's downward spiral is exactly that too. :(
