: : This is a little something I wrote after having watched Dogma. It's got spoilers and such so beware if you haven't seen the flick. And also, this poem ended up being a little too long. Still, it conveyed what I was trying to express so I'm happy. Let me know what you think. I'm really hoping that this whole thing shows up. : : I look into Her eyes and then I realize : : All I want to do is apologize : : But its too late and I've gone too far : : And I think briefly of the Morningstar. : : How did I become this lost and deceived? : : Look at what I am as compared to what I used to be : : My shame so deep but only now : : So blinded, I forgot the truth somehow. : : I had long since fallen and gone my own way : : And now I look into Her eyes and know not what to say : : All this time I thought I'd been betrayed : : But in actuality it was my sin for making him stray. : : I couldn't understand it before : : As to why I wasn't welcomed anymore : : Why I was cursed to this existence : : That lead me to wage this war. : : I see in a grim vision : : All those in the past : : Who ate the fruit : : And suffered Her wrath. : : I convinced my friend : : That Her ways were wrong : : That he had to stand up to Her : : That he had to be strong. : : And he did what I urged : : And threw down his sword : : He rejected his duty : : And forsaked his Lord. : : It was because of me : : Don't you see? : : In my self-rightousness : : I turned him away from his duty. : : And in that act : : We sealed our fates : : We were forever barred : : From entering the gates. : : Then one day came this plan : : A way to return to where we were banned : : I urged him again to follow my way : : And I knew that he would all the end. : : As we journeyed : : My bitternes grew : : My motives changed : : As I threw away all once held true. : : He tried to warn me but my resentment was too deep : : I would strike back and not delay : : And let all those who stood in my way : : Innocence regardless, have hell to pay. : : He reminded me of the one before : : Who had too been denied entrance to the sacred doors : : But I refused to listen, fueled only by rejection : : I would not give in, I had broken down and given in to sin. : : I laid my judgement and vengeance upon them all : : Showed them that I was powerful while they were small : : No one would stop me now this close to my goal : : I would enter those doors and purify my soul. : : He tried once again : : To deter me from my missioin : : There was no pause as I plunged : : The knife into his skin. : : No remorse for killing my best friend. : : How did I get here : : And become this thing : : I grieve for what may have happened : : Had She not intervened. : : I had wanted to strike Her back : : And take from her as she had taken from me : : Now I know she wasn't to blame : : It was my transgression, now plain to see. : : Yet I held her accountable : : All the same : : But now I've learned my lesson : : And crumble before Her in shame. : : She embraces me one last time : : And I feel that touch that I was lost without : : I let go and weep for what I have done : : How I had turned against here and for what I'd become : : She opens her mouth and reveals a cry : : And as I close my eyes : : I say goodbye to Her presence once more : : Then there is emptiness as my body dies. : : Chris
