cinderful


i could never let you down
i couldn’t bear to let you go
but your sunlight
only burns me

maybe you were not what i thought you were
and though it seemed you descended from heaven
at first
at heart
i gazed into your cherry-red eyes and envisioned only fire and hatred beneath
i peered into your dark soul only to find myself crucified upon your heart
i peel back your skin and find you naked
truly for the first time
i can envision your veins pumping with all that i’ve bled into you

i couldn’t bear to let you down
i can never just say no
but if only you’ll say maybe
even if it’s just to fake the hope
that i could find the way
behind the curtains of your soul

your sunlight burns me red
til i’m as good as dead
your heart beats me to death

and though it seemed that you
descended
from ether’s charm and beauty
for this you would require
not the devil wings you were given
but for all things unforgiven
i do believe that you began the blaze
that ravaged through my forest
blinded my eyes and silenced my
pleas for mercy
i do believe that you as a whole
ascended
from the netherworld alight
and cursed me with all your wickedness

but i could never let you down
i couldn’t bear to let you go
oh fiend be damned
you’re one
but to abhor
but i am true and pure
as sure as i am sure
to slay you with my love
