This is a story/free verse poem written almost entirely using names of metalcore, hardcore and deathcore bands. If you're curious what those band names are - and you just might discover some cool new music - check out the epilogue, or just read along and enjoy the ride.
I am society's finest; but to crown the empire -
Here: articles of faith fit for a king -
A day to remember, burnt by the sun;
Nights like these, side by side, beneath the sky;
I'd burn 100 demons beyond the walls of Jericho
Because arsonists get all the girls.
Drop dead gorgeous Alesana, skip the foreplay;
Beloved Miss, may I see you next Tuesday?
Close your eyes, embrace today, forevermore.
But you stick to your guns, refused to cave in;
You loathe me, deny me as a limp wristed adolescent;
You saw no redeeming social value in my eyes,
That you could in big boys, misfits and FUs.
Repulsion like scarlet stigmata from her eyes
Throwsdown the word alive to the wind.
Alesana, you tear out the heart;
Your cruel hand rupture deez nuts;
All that remains is the agony scene.
This is hell, but the warriors born from pain
Rise to remain on broken wings
Blessed by a broken heart, I wage war,
Strike anywhere, terror while she sleeps
Attack attack! I killed the prom queen!
Green arrows and ice pick to a glass casket,
Upon this dawning, blood has been shed.
The void still remains in my kingdom of sorrow
The hope conspiracy converges in suicide silence
Falling in reverse from a second story window
From autumn to ashes, as I lay dying
Shadows fall, senses fail, but I prevail.
