In The Name of Passion

I hope there is a light beyond the darkness

that suffocates a confidence I used to believe in.

A hopeful feeling of salvation that used to be...

whole .

She burns through my vacant heart,

a pinhole charm, causing harm

upon my constant forgiveness.

I ignore I wait I beg I stay;

I fight with passion and bathe in my own pain.

I drown in my forgiveness

contemplate my regrets.

I am forced to forget her words

I have forgiven once before.

But I cannot ignore

my swollen wound is infected

burning with ignorance;

what appreciation?!

there is no turning back

now there is no sign of light,

I am not sure if I can forgive-

in the name of passion, I lose the fight,

laying dead in the choke of night.
