IV. What Is Written In Flesh
There in dull horror Rachael stood transfixed, Nails bit clenched palms, as her Dark Knight destroyed Innocence. Hate and longing in her mixed, She cursed his name, Jarmanis, to the void.
And cold eyes lit with raging flame, he rose To strike her: "Whore! I warned you from this place." He threw her down and ripped apart her clothes; She tried to turn, the tears slid down her face.
A kiss-- a knife-- first went her lovely eyes. Ah-- dark!-- he took her fingers and her toes. Next went the tongue, to silence Rachael's cries-- He plucked her teeth. He left two empty rows.
Then his true work began: Kneeling above, He put his knife to her fair skin and flayed, As all the while he crooned to her his love, Voice cutting deeper yet than his stained blade.
