My Darkness

Your light is my darkness.
Your breath is my death.
Your heart is my knife.
Your scent is my poison.
Let me go. 
Don’t let me die.
Let me breathe.
Let me survive.
Don’t grab my hand.
Don’t brush upon my arm.
Let me fall off the edge
Don’t help me up if I fall.
But yet I can’t get enough.
So don’t let me fall for someone like you.
But let me do so anyways. 
If I fall please catch me.
But if you don’t, then I’ll know.
I’ll know that you are my devil with the 
face
Of an Angel.
