Threatening Desires

Ripped, tattered, uselss wings

Cravings denied, heartless beings

Happiness was finally reached

Then you take her, ecstacy leeched

Gleaming smirks now faded frowns

Two for him, one for me

Loveless hate, can't you see?

Pain prevented, if only you cared

Instead you lash out, weapons bared

Multiple lives you would of saved

If only, if only, you had stayed
