Light betrays the black beneath

The tilted smiles and crooked teeth

Gnashing at the rent decay

A bed for which my heart to lay

-

Seething silent, soulless screams

Lost among love’s shattered dreams

A balm to keep the pain at bay

Though yet go I, my love must stay

-

Fearing that which does not seek

My heart shall find love’s pyrrhic peak

A debt in blood I cannot pay

For words I would not dare to say
