The fire in my heart raged endlessly, consuming all it touched,
A blaze so fierce it swallowed my fading colors, left me cold and hushed.
I would scream, "Release me from this unyielding curse!"
Yet silence swallows my plea as I wander deeper into night’s endless hearse,
Shrieking into the void of midnight's cruel embrace.
My thirst for love, a torment that never dies,
Grows beneath her bittersweet gaze, where broken promises lie.
I vowed to hold her close, though her touch was death,
Tonight we merge in shadowed sin, robbing me of breath,
Our love, a forbidden scar upon my soul.
Then I carve my thoughts into this brittle page,
Each word a shard of hate, every line a twisted cage,
Blood-stained glass and tear-soaked pain, etched into my skin,
My suffering is ink, and on this page, my darkness begins.
I lay here, hollow, a shell drowning in the abyss within.
