Alone the darkness beacons,
Words of innocence that reach my ears,
The chains constrict yet I still feel you.
I can't see you for your soul is bright,
but you can see me through shadows that consume my right.
You know my true name, but you never say it.
Your presence is becoming distant.
I speak to you in the devils embrace,
I say your words yet I can't hear you.
Call my name once more,
My heart craves your voice.
The darkness holds me back.
I want to see you, but even if I could you light would destroy me.
For I am darkness and you are light.
We were born to be apart yet my lips long to touch yours.
I curse the Devil in vein, I curse to God in disgust,
yet how can I hate such an Angel like you?
Your words break the chains around my heart,
Your voice makes the devils arms numb.
I don't care if I die, my love if I can only see you.
My life would be complete.
As I run from the darkness my shadow fads.
I think of you my love even as my skin peals away,
Even as my soul starts to decay.
My skin turns to ash, my eyes become stone,
But even if I am blind I can still see your light.
Please say my name before I fade away,
Please hold me in your embrace.
I feel your arms around me as you pull me to your breast,
Blood spills from my eyes a devil cry.
Your love is apparent in every breath.
“Anonymous…” I hear you say as I fade away.
