Regardless

 

I’m drawn to you 

Like a moth to the light

Every thought 

Transcends

my humble existence 

Begins and ends

On you

Or your face

Or the rhythm of your heart

Or just how you glance at me

With nothingness

No emotion seeping through your skin

But your eyes

They are wells

Of darkness

Where I know

A trap lies

Like a black hole 

Suck the soul out of me

And swallow it, no hesitation 

No consideration 

What would a poor soul do

Other than lie there

Waiting

To be redeemed

 

How do you escape 

When the light is your poison

And darkness your nemesis 

Then there in the twilight you hide

Waning for something that was never there

Hoping for someone that won’t ever be

You.

You will be the death of me.
