Standstill !

Info

At the party, I was giving a toast

When I saw a freaking ghost

I was sitting on a stool

Trying to keep my cool

It disappeared like a mist, leaving me horrified

A few moments passed

And with a relief I sighed

Again like a mist it reappeared

It made me more terrified

It gave me an invite, which I now hold

I went to the address it told

To complete the dare

I went to that demon's lair

(It was dark, nothing was to be seen besides the glimmering of a faulty street light. The atmosphere was scary and creepy, winds were blowing strangely, it was a full moon night. I could see the trees with no leaves and owls sitting on the branches of these trees. I could hear a lot of noises, coming from everywhere scaring the crap out of me. Then I saw a large mansion, a very old one. I went inside. After that it was all pitch black, then suddenly I was in a room lit with candles. There was a rack filled with potions. You can guess what I did next. )

I picked a potion

And I drank the poison

It made things worse

It cast a dreadful curse.

I made a wrong move

And all hell was broken loose

Even with all my might

I couldn't survive the night

My whole life was full of lies

They vanished right in front of my eyes

Remnants of my existence are to be found nowhere

As I vanished into thin air

My identity is now that of anonymity

A lot of discomfort lies in anonymity

My disguise gets no attention

Always leaving me with a lot of tension

The person I once was is lost somewhere

In the middle of nowhere

Like strange winds I blow restless

In search of a voice

In search for that someone

In search of you

My search for you seems endless

The moment I gave up on my dream of ever finding you

My dream came true

It was hallow's eve

When I met you my dark angel

Something about you caught me in a hold so tight

It was your eyes as dark as night

I stared to get some insight

What I saw was a situation of plight

As same as mine was your fate

To save you it was too late

Unable to save you I was filled with hate

Still I smiled as I got a new mate

The magic of your style

Always made me smile

Thus, I came at a standstill

With such a strange ending.
