Nevermore
You stole my soul with trust wed realms of shade
As I let my heart lay bare in your eyes
And you cherished it like a jewel hand-made
I am the fool that believed your breathless word
That you loved me I should have known absurd
When love turned cold and dark without replies
I sought you out at midnight filled with bale
To let your blood linger and flood the floor
Took your life with the blade of rage and wail
I felt no sorrow with the knife I thrust
And buried it deep with force and disgust
I cried out to your last breath nevermore
