Consume Me

A smile so achingly perfection Only hiding evil buried deep inside Emptiness and destruction is all you leave behind Your love consumes me, burns me from within Leaving only darkness, where there once was light. Now I’m just a shell, no not even that More a memory of the me that disappeared As you caressed me with your deadly touch Your love it consumed me, burned me from within Hidden scars eternal, a reminder of your deceptive evil How is it you still consume me when there’s nothing left to take Only a hollow void where there once was life Yet you’re an obsession I just can’t let go Even as I turn to leave, we know it’s not the end Only a matter of time, until I’m back again.
