Let Me Be Your Downfall

Let Me Be Your Downfall

A Poem by Declan Cooney
"

meh... a reversed love song.

"

Fear the path to happiness

Laid with bricks of doubt

Stray from codes of ethics

That you know nothing about

Seed yourself with sin

And thrive upon false hope

Bask in sadness and desperation

Knowing you'll have to cope

Cast your dreams into darkness

Let nightmares cast their pall

Submit to me your sanity

Let me be your downfall

 

Let me be your downfall

I will be your plight

Let me be you downfall

I will suffer all the light

 

Hate all those who love you

Seek silence in solitude

Disregard your thoughts and faith

Let famine be your food

Rest within the arms of sinners

And lust for purity

Envy those with loving hearts

While you strangle your deity

Let your mind destroy tranquility

Face redemption and stand tall

Submit to me your sanity

Let me be your downfall

 

Let me be your downfall

I will be your plight

Let me be your downfall

I will suffer all the light

 

Let me stake your heart to mine

Allow me inside your mind

To set fire to your desires

And leave all hope behind

Rewind time and find

That this is all intertwined

The stem of insecurities

The feelings we define

The words of constant rhythm

Intoxicate us every time

Let me be your downfall

Because obviously, you're mine...

 

Let me be your downfall

I will be your plight

Let me be your downfall

I will suffer all the light
