Scorching love

I can’t love you in the dark he said

Looking back he never knew

Darkness was the only language my heart knew how to spew

The dark was the cradle I lived in

When light forgot to shine on me

Darkness was the choice that I made for me

For light had forsaken the child that I used to be

It’s hard to explain how my only friend became pain

That joy was a currency traded with to keep my monsters tame

Comfort was a foreign concept my overthinking mind knew not of

Constantly on overdrive unable to fathom the true meaning of love

Beguiled by my darkness, I chose to remain hidden

Between my monsters and demons I was utterly smitten

He was the light that burned my skin

Crawled beneath my veins and settled within

Brought colors to my darkened eyes

Fed my slumbered aching soul tempting lies

He was the devil with angel wings

Sent from beyond to punish my mortal sins

Called forth my darkness and led it towards the light

Banishing me from my comfort, initiating my eternal fight

Cursed may he be, the man who stood over the ashes of my broken soul

Plaguing my essence to a life with no self control
