Losing Myself, Piece by Piece

 

Take one step closer to the fire,

These burning flames of my desire,

Burn all my flesh, tear me apart,

Rip out the sinews of my heart.
Don't leave a trace of me behind;

Taint my soul and darken my mind
With thoughts of endless agony
For all of time, eternally.
The veil of truth, sealed from my eyes,

Whispers to me sweet, lovely lies,
And gives false hope, though well I know,
Forever cursed is my damned soul.
The tears fall forth, calling my name,
Adding more fire to endless pain.
Tears revel in my solitude,
Forever darkening my mood
With only thoughts of loneliness,
To curse me with this emptiness
Binding me to the chains of hell
Where now I shall forever dwell.

 

 

Though try I may to break these chains

And leave this hell of endless flames,

My mind is never truly free
From everything that curses me.

Long have I felt the evil glare
Of hating eyes that always stare.
A monster on this darkened earth,

My fate was sealed upon my birth. 

No one will dare look in my eyes
Nor heal my heart's tormenting sighs

Longing to be embraced once more

And hear these words: "Donc mon amour." 

 

The world stabs me with hatred's knife,

Killing me slow with pain and strife,
And left behind these crimson stains
Are all of me that shall remain.
No love has ever graced my heart,
I'm just a man that time forgot.
Left to defend myself, alone,
No one will even know I'm gone.
Burned at the stake, this blazing fire,
Took all my heart and its desires.
Feelings inside, I meant to show,
Are ones the world shall never know;
My secrets I held deep within,
No one shall ever know, again.

Holy ****. I love the power in this, an extreme mix of sorrow and anger. Wow, you really hit the ball out the park on this one. Putting this into favorites. I just love when you write like this, i love a powerful emotion and i love how you expel it.

Amazingly dark as usual, I like dark, I like the fact that it, like no other means, can express so exactly, how one feels. It's putting emotion out there no matter the motivation or the reason behind. Yet to me dark can speak of love as well, and though this piece speaks of pain, there is a love behind it as well! Very nice piece!
