Distant soul so pure and innocent
With your throng of guardians
That do more for you than I ever could
I envy that they found you first
And helped you when you needed it most
Where was I in that darkest time?
Slowly devolving and joining that same darkness
Becoming a creature of rot
With rotting eyes and a rotting body
But none compares to my rotten mind
So enwrapped in selfish thoughts
Spider-tendrilled hair that becomes a shroud
The only veil that hides the thing I am
Just the kind you should be protected from
How shameful that scum like me
Should ever hope to be the virtuous hero you deserve
My heart that was so stilled
Beats again for every time I speak your name
And every time I hear your words
My soul that was so cold at first
Becomes so warm and I grow strong
But the best that I can hope for
Is to lurk inside your shadow
And delight in the way you smile
But cringe that I’m not the one that made you do so
And despair at my selfishness again
And a real white knight will come for you
He shall smite all that would haunt you
Beasts that shouldn’t be in your world
And when he draws his sword and runs me through
He will look on my corpse and say, “Poor fool,
It’s human beings that fall in love.
Not the monsters like you.”
In a list

This is gorgeous. I love the message behind this. You truly don't realize that you're not a monster. At least, not from what I've seen. Actually, you are quite sweet and and considerate.
Love this poem. It's on par with Earthbound Angel. XD I don't know. I just loved this one and that a lot.
You're great at writing poetry.

Thank you very much. I often think that i'm probably a different person online to what i am in RL though. Earthbound Angel is the favourite among my own and was in fact the first poem i'd written.
