Black heartless
Beast, oh my!
Monster made of
Shadows and lies…
I’ve learnt to live
With your breath
On my neck,
The distinctive stench,
Evil, yet so close
To my yearning heart.
Keeping me, all the same
Whole, and apart…
Why did I ever
Let my eyes glance away,
From the cage
Where you were meant to stay?
A split second
Is all it took,
All because of
Just one look.
I lost your trace,
Once again you’re loose
And on my throat
I feel the noose.
You jump on my back
Enraged, all claws out,
While I bleed in silence
Stumbling around and about.
Why, I wonder
Do you wish for my last breath?
I swear, I’m in no rush
To meet my death…
You bite, you kick
You raise your fist,
But without me
You just wouldn’t exist!
I don’t eat, I don’t drink
No way, am I going to feed you!
And I don’t sleep anymore,
Maybe you’ll get tired too.
Oh, and so you know,
I betrayed you today.
I told her about you
Even if it was hard to say.
I’m no longer alone
And together we’ll teach
You that I don’t want to tame you, demon
But we’ll put you on a leash!
