Shoulder to cry on

Shoulder to cry on

Forgive this external emotion of mine,

 for I do not hold it in high praise.

But I run to someone's suffering,

 though my destination could torment me.

There's a thought, that I could somehow turn against this harmful direction.

Her quiet, dark revenge should endure;

Scar her suicidally and palely embitter that wasteful innocence.

Her disillusioned youth could conceal my jealousy;

I am hardly painless.

Kissing her rhythmically, I break her resolve of pain

 and recall our resting place.

Our withered chains of sorrow could worship in love

 and rest in innocence.
Silently, tenderly, together, we destroy the shadow of suffering and pain.
