He screams in his heart
silent screams in the cold
he screams till he's hoarse
till the pain leaves his soul

He can't look in her eyes
he knows of her sins
his thoughts of naught else
hides the torment within

He can't break these tight bonds
won't loose these strong ties
he'll hold to this life
wrought full of her lies

He gave her his all
gifted love's truth
she's used up his soul
his feelings are moot

He's come to a place
where he'd rather get burned
than wander abyss
suffer heartache and yearn

Venus, her name
her passion unbound
his curse and his passion
heart's rest nayever be found

But when 'tis his turn
her eyes looking his way
his scars all but forgotten
She...  his love for a day


     ~Love finds peace~


Warm tears now flow freely
down the cheeks of his face
in her arms held so tightly
rue tomorrow's disgrace
