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...
