Dark Predilection
July 11, 2013
You're better off dead
Than in my arms
A toxic waste,
I would consume
you
I want to share
Every moment
With your fragile eyes
And lie beneath
Broken skies
Shattered by darkness
I lust at the pain
It lingers beneath me
And slowly seeps into
you
As we touch
You wrap your heart
Around my fragile bones
And I tremble
With indifference
I look away
As your beating heart
Turns black
And grimace
Because you have become
Nothing
You said you could
Resist
But you succumbed
Entranced by the shadow
I fell
And now
I am stuck
I'm sorry
But you are
too
