Drinking hate like an elixir
I can be your arsenic salvation
I am society’s orphan
Forgotten, but not by the lost ones

I can carry you across the River Styx
Boat-mistress to the damned
I court the Reaper
Then steal the bloodied scythe

Heartless harpy
Haunter of dreams
Screaming banshee
Counter of immoral deeds

Venom, Laudanum, Nightshade, and Opium
The paints of a dead man’s canvas
Dementia dreams and midnight screams
The backgrounds of my little still life

I can write the last page of your pathetic script
In curling cursive letters if you insist…
But only if it’s written in your own blood
Red is the new black you know, and you make it look good

I don’t make bargains, so don’t even try
I am not the devil, so please don’t mistake me
My name isn’t death, he’s too easy

My name is far more familiar to you
Agony, deceit, fear, and hate
These are the things that I imbibe
Defeat and loneliness, betrayal and lies
The side of you, you try to hide
I am you…

~And you will hate me~

I love this, it's really good. It's got great imagery and good meter going. Yeah it's dark, but it's a good kind of dark; a lot of stuff marked 'dark' that I've come across could more accurately be marked 'emo' and this isn't emo. Great job!
