Loveless
You swore you would always come back for me.
Here I am, still holding on to that promise,
Though the hope has started to disintegrate,

When you leave, the rain never stops pouring,
Or is it my tears that won’t seem to cease,
Your absence is like a knife slowly twisting,
The blood dripping out has all my memories,
Memories tainted with you,
Time has stopped
As if it has malicious intent,
With neither time not fate on our side,
How could we possibly hope to fly?

Every time I close my eyes, I smell your scent,
I know you feel it too,
This undeniable pull,
The need to have you is so strong,
I feel breathless..

There is no light in you,
I’d fall into the darkest depths of despair with you,
I’d let you taint me.
I only ever wanted to stand in your shadow anyway.

Loveless
I often wonder if the stars control our fates,
Or whether we make our own paths.
The world is against us my love,
Perhaps hatred is all we deserve.
Our love fills even the gods with disgust,
Though we’re both still holding on.

They say what we have is a case of ‘the grass is greener’
Darling, how wrong they are,
All the grass surrounding you is dead.
We’re not destined to live in the light together.
It would only blind us.

In that forbidden moment,
When your soul brushed against mine.
It felt as if I had plunged into an abyss,
Surrounded by perpetual darkness.
For just a moment beloved,
You and I were all that ever had,
And ever will exist.

Our souls bound in a covenant,
Forever entwined.
I saw the universe in your eyes.
Nothing else mattered, in that moment,
I could have died in your arms.

— The End —
