Gabriel's Poem

She and I

I am ugliness I am sin.

The queen’s obedient little pet.

I am everything the queen wanted me to be.

She is my queen’s prisoner.

She hold’s magic in her blood.

She is only a vessel, nothing more.

I am a shadow of my former self.

I smile at their pain as the queen does.

I laugh at their terror as the queen does.

I am a shadow, less than a ghost.

She is sunlight and moonbeams

All rolled into innocence and strength.

Even in darkness she shines.

Nothing seems to extinguish her light.

I am the monster.

I am the villain.

I am the executioner.

I bring nothing but pain and death.

I am the queen’s favorite pet.

She is different, special, mine.

I tasted my future in her blood.

With her angelic sight my sins are cleansed.

I am stronger than I think.

I’ve done awful unimaginable things.

But I can be forgiven.

I can save her.
