"How do you feel? That is the question, but I forget you don't expect an easy answer. When something like a soul becomes initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes you can't expect a bit of hope..."

Burn me down until i see no light.
Inside i am breaking down for you tonight.

One taste of your velvet leaves will take me down to my knees.
Yet i beg to taste you one last time.
Mrs. Belladonna you are mine.

Belladonna! Your petals do mislead.
You pretty little girl.
Overshadowed by your greed.

Kill me now my nightshade and free me from this world.
I can feel myself giving up to you.
Weaken me is what you do.

Ravage all that even try
to taste you now that you are mine.
Mrs. Belladonna, yes you are mine.

Belladonna! Your petals do mislead.
You pretty little girl.
Overshadowed by your greed.

Stems so sturdy,
set the other girls aside.
You stand out among the crowd,
In the nourishing sun you always shine.

Temptation felt with your sweet nectar,
all impurity will fade.
I fall for you every time,
my darling.
My Nightshade.


The author's comments:
I was learning about herbs and Belladonna is one of the flowers I learned about. I heard that it can be poisonous when consumed. I was intrigued by the fact that such a beautiful flower like Nightshade could be fatal. It really makes you think about the quote, "Evil doe not wear a mask."
