Soul Keeper

She keeps souls in a skull she wears around her neck

Of past lovers who chose to torture her and leave her brutally wrecked

For they didn't know she was a women

Of many ways

And by choosing to throw her out

Would be paving their fate

and devastating their last days

She finds them in the loveliest of hours

As they lay next to their new lovers

Naked and weak

Stealing his soul is what she seeks

They never see her coming as she slithers in as a grim fog

Hovering over their bodies

Thinking oh how sweet

they just made love

She drapes over them like a warm blanket

Yet waiting to ravage him from above

Just as they feel a sense of dismay

She casts her darkness on him

Causing instant decay

And devouring his wretched soul

Sucking it in

And thoroughly enjoying this

forsaken sin

While leaving his lover laying there in shock and fear she will die

Then winking at her with a

twisted eye

Letting her know

Her soul will be just fine

Being the soul keeper she saved her from his wicked ways

Now he's in a skull around her neck

For all his eternal days

And At night as She lays in bed

she faintly hears their souls crying to get out

She laughs at the sweet melodious they sing

Thinking next time

she shall create a

Soul keeping ring
