true love’s desire
craves –
burning for her touch
longing for his mate
hiding his heart
watching life without

saying
if only

if only
she knew

if only
she could see
she was his only

only
feeding his hunger

only
feeding his lust

caressing lips in slumber
whispering words of promise
feeling too far gone

holding on as eyes open
as lungs scream
as pain holds captive

oOoOo

true love’s intended
sighs –
jaded
wishing to escape
desperate to feel
driven by shadow

saying
if only

if only
he knew

she was his
forever

once

slowly

burning

breaking

becoming

murderer
and
lover

demon
and angel

a huntress

seeking retribution –
payment
for
true love’s betrayal

fading
as her desire
falls to ash on the floor

unhinged
with each soul
that is not his

silently
numb

silently
feared

oOoOo

true love’s desire
cries –
split and snapped
calling love
shouting stay

moments from death

helpless without

demanding beauty see

he loved

he loved

once

only

once

slipping away
gone
lost
forever

oOoOo

true love’s freedom
smiles –
unbound
by light
void
of guilt

never
knowing

never
feeling

holding on to darkness

without fear

feeding the demon

without pain

loving

once

once

once
