Painful kiss

Softly broken splintering wreckage lost,

made from the ashes lips colored pain.

Twisting knife revealed bearing hell,

heavenly rapturous feelings gone cold.

Notwithstanding fear inside of my heart,

falling to break into pieces left out.

Each thought calls a name in which fate resembles death,

emptiness reminds me of what I never knew before.

In her heart I keep waking up too blind to see,

resting in my soul the ice entombs my life.

Shade beckons me into what I fear as me,

no light to open my eyes to anyway.

Vacant expression painting the darkness inside,

kept down under water unable to drown.

Wake me when the time is left to live,

dying to die I make my plea to death.

Her kiss inviting me to accept my destiny,

lifeless limits beholding what was meant before.

Lips locked onto my soul bleeding black,

falling away to live in what I know is my end.
