Cruelty Knows No Bounds
By Nomar Knight
It's true that cruelty knows no bounds
While flickering flames make horrid sounds
Your quiet sobs of unbridled remorse
Makes me wish you had stayed the course
A leap of fear drew you to me
Avoidance of fire an impossibility
For either way you failed the task
Next time do try to ask
If I save myself from fire
Will it calm chilling desire
But if I don't survive the fall
Am I entitled to have a ball
The stench of death clings to your hair
Although you do not reek of despair
Taking your life I must confide
Is still viewed as suicide
So suffer my wrath until you break
For your tainted soul is what's at stake
Welcome Oblivion's cold embrace
And watch how I steal your face
For I am Oscuro the Suicide King
Won't make you bow or kiss my ring
Through torment depression will
Bathe you in darkness until you're still
