Veiled Love -part one-

Veiled Love The true depths of selfishness I had never touched Until I met you Never feeling its cuts, I could have never knew Just how bladed it was Victim after victim a glutenous lust Seeming to serve you all that you want While feeding on your primal thoughts Striping the essence from all that you love Instilling the eternal instinct of one tunneled was your view Only seeing you in your kaleidoscoped mirage, I was lost Nothing exists just you and the witch she feds on your gluttonous thoughts Isosceles love entangled I was Within a diseased love That wove with shadowed threads The witches veil What was beneath I couldn't tell Upon the glowing ground Within the scorched realm Scared and burnt I thought I had been found you wiped the tears from my Cheek For so heavily did I weep As the broken tears they all fell with rehearsed lies you webbed the lines Of promises you'd never keep Well-practiced was he I was desperate and naive completely Blinded by his spell I was TO thankful to see That you had no scars on your feet yet barefoot through Hell You roamed Free you cloaked me in a dream swept me off of my feet, fed me clotted love You said were berries And with every bite A thicker fog claimed my sight And unbeknownst to me Was a trap already sprung I was engulfed, entombed in love And for the first time, I could hear the witch speak I am his she shrieked Leave now she howled Then with demonic laughter, she said unto me For from you, he will feed And his greed, I will breed and from my womb his dreams I will bore My 2nd mistake was in this moment made And with heroic ignorance as my sword I placed full blame For the venom soaked veins That poisoned our blossoming love On the tighting grip of a succubus and with no real view of the truth I swore To free you from her grasp And with freedom at last Our chance at love, restored Our roots could finally break through the floor Day after day there would prove Only pain For years I fought To free you Or so I thought But as life dimly passed time chipped away at your mask the shadowed veil was now torn Caught in my gaze Was the cast the light made A shadowy display Of your horns An immobile state You worked hard to maintained holding me beneath my own shame In the depths of that bottomless swamp A view of the witch I had not deeper into the blackness I further sank Continued with Part Two...
