My Greatest Sin

To dismiss any possibility before it even came In our youthful lives was a an awful shame, As I looked upon your eyes I saw the light That I never deserved even with all my might. I have succumbed to the darkness of self-loathe, Trapped here forever and further down I go, You are my worst and greatest of all bane, You are the barrier from keeping me sane. Everyday I look upon my room's abyss, As I remember your black eyes that I'll always miss, My obsession of you has caught up to me Rendering me unable to be completely be free. You said I loved the idea of you, You said that my love was never true, But you failed to see yourself in my eyes, How you lifted the curse of my heart's cold ice. Our last encounter you never even said a word, That day in that moment I felt a huge pit in my world, One last reply was all I ever asked from you, A sadness you caused me and an infinite rue.
