Array ( [sid] => 125384 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I Taught You All You Know Of Sin [time] => 2006-09-06 13:34:09 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I taught you all you know of sin...


You personified innocence.
so good, so pure
a thousand miles away from
the edge.


When I took you in my hand and
became your teacher,
I stole all that was noble in you...
smashed it under my heel.
did it sting?
did you die a little death when all you knew became false?


I made you do things you couldn't contemplate,
without a single word leaving my mouth.
A look or a gesture could send you into convulsions,
a frenzy of obedience.


Wrecking you, molding you,
gave me such delight.
I knew you would be my greatest creation.
Your heart, once so pure,
became black and twisted under my careful watch.


Those scars on your wrists…
I was present in your mind when
the razor glided over skin and
became slick with blood.
I was there when the cut went
too deep.
I smiled as you left your innocence in a crimson pool.


I taught you all you know of sin.
~Rhiannon

You are a talent as well. Almost... devil like.
You remind me of the great Marquis De Sade.
I think you would like him.

p.s.
by the way my favorite is Her Ghost in the Fog.
truly , Doug

Wow sister, this little write was friggen powerful. I wonder who the "I" is in this piece...I have a feeling it's not you. Rhiannon you seem to have something dark and hidden within....because of that, you create some wonderfully horrible pictures of life. Could of been me some years ago. Love your style.
Peace, Laura
