Midas

I’ve got blood on my blade and red in my ledger,

but a pure white shade is my favourite colour.

And I won’t let myself sleep when it’s dark,

for the night-whispers know my heart.

I’ve got death in my name and I’m undercover,

wrapped up in the sheets of never-ever.

And if the day-time should take my life,

then I’ll finally know if there’s a light.

I’ve got faith but no religion; 

I’ve got love, but none to give.

I believe in believing, 

but I’ve got nothing to believe in.

I hope for the worst and then kiss it better.

I know just how to make you suffer.

And I know just when your life will end,

for it will be by my own hand.

I’ve got faith but no religion; 

I’ve got love, but none to give.

I believe in believing, 

but I’ve got nothing to believe in.

I’ve got blood on my blade and red in my ledger,

but a pure white shade is my favourite colour.

And everything I touch is dyed a crimson red.

I’ve got faith but no religion; 

I’ve got love but none to give.

I believe in believing, 

but I’ve got nothing to believe in.

I’ve got blood on my blade,

and red in my ledger.

I really liked this poem. I'm interested in the music you had to go along with this. I also like the visual when you say, "I’ve got blood on my blade and red in my ledger/but a pure white shade is my favourite colour." very vivid. I enjoyed this a lot!
