From One Dark Heart To Another

You think me cold-hearted now

Insensitive, I don't feel the pain.

Bleed or even wounded

No tears falling from these eyes.

The pain you inflicted,

Mere scratches in the end

But even Scratches hurt

When cut deep enough.

Your fingers trace my scars

Wipe the blues from my cheeks.

Whisper words of respite

Hold me in your warm embrace.

How poetic, would it be? No?

If you were soft.

The light to my dark

Flame in the darkest of nights.

Both Creatures born of shadow,

Burned Black,

Through and through,

Leading each other down our own treacherous paths.

Changed for you,

I made a flame.

Betrayed the darkness of my heart

Traitor to my own self.

Should there even be surprise?

Darkness is our very being

Engulfed me into your pitch-black

No more should there be any respite.

Now don't call to me with endearing words

I have forgotten all that love ever meant.

My flame has burned up to its end

Theres no place for love in the darkness

Thats me.
