Tonight I walk alone in darkness
where Demons tear at forbidden flesh
to carve my flaws into my skin
I am beauty, despised by my own reflection.
I am carnal joy, wrapped in bitter torment.
I am love everlasting, wrapped in deepest loathing.
I am all and nothing in turn.
Begrudgingly breathing,
betrayed by the steady beat of my heart.
Tonight I walk alone in darkness.
It's weight leans steadily
against my unsteady nature
as my once dream filled soul
screams into the abyss.
