Proxy - My Love Part Vii

I swim in the darkness you once reigned in And he, he arrived and pulled me out My eyes now blush from his tender caresses Our hands entwined, an answer to my endless doubt When the moonlight hits his eyes, it reminds me of the deepest oceans His laughter is more beautiful than the starry sky His arms form a shield that’d protect me from all distress His presence warms my heart, he doesn’t need to try He loves me more than I love myself His grip on my hand tighter, than the grief I had fought He loves me more than I imagined one capable, yet I Liked him, but still, loved him not Liked, yet a tiny part of me still yearns for your touch This hollow feeling still lingers When his lips fall on mine, I still taste your essence I feel your roughness on his fingers The colors in his eyes, remind me of your varying dispositions I led him on this hopeless path, walking him forward without seeing How my heart still hung on your doorway; the lilacs whisper ‘You are now a greater monster than you once accused him of being’ Hopeless, I sway, for neither sweet words in prose or verse Could justify my greed, as I lead him to our demise Nor my hatred, self-loathing and wasteful injustice My love, your being, could ever make me despise
