The Love Demons
Because I love you I was in doubt.
To think it wasn't a drop of poison
To know it wouldn't ravenously consume
You followed me around like a dog that needs water
A malignant cancer that breathes with my lungs
Lurking in the dark
Hiding in the shadows
I tried to leave but it was comfortable.
I was a abandon spirit speaking refuge in your chamber.
Because I love you I struggle inside
I can’t forge a new path,
I can’t bask in the light,
I can’t fill this dark void with a new ode
I need a new song.
No longer lugubrious, nor melancholy.
Detach
Sever
My heart yearns for heaven,
Leave this murky love for anew.
Time is running out
Do it now COWARD!
It has already started
Do this today
Step up to the platform.
It’s not too late.
Because I love you I am not brave,
I can’t cleanse my temple
Find that spark
And purge myself from your chains that hurt me.
I am a stained coffee table
Your imprint seared onto my flesh,
I feel your presence
The breathing
The fear
The doubt
The ignominy
You are the voices of enemies that clog my judgement.
Because I love you
You should know what you do to me.
You make me a fool for love
A love that like a bee sting
Hurts so good but so bad.
You gravitate to me
I am your magnet,
I see the light creep upon my cracks,
Like a rising sunset it's a new day;
This is my redemption.
Love does not tear nor rip at the flesh
IT EMPOWERS!!!
This is my farewell... to you
