The Heart, the Chain, and the Darkness
My heart is slowly falling,
Falling into this thing called love.
And
Softly being swayed back and forth,
By its golden chains.
The chains:
The chains are now slowly breaking,
And rusting away into dismay as she leaves.
And
As she screams away all the love,
Like red leafs on a dusk tree.
Yet my heart still looks forward to seeing her pale,
Face once more in the valley of woe.
The darkness:
Shame and deceit,
Weaken my body.
And the darkness that surrounds me,
Never felt so comforting.
As I fade away into its bosoms,
For only she knew how to keep me,
In touch with this thing called life.
Now I’m afraid, I’m alone, and falling into a void,
Where beauty has no presence.
