Dark love

I have nothing to give you but myself,
the world dies but in you love lives on.
Torment sets in with winds changing fast,
calling me back to the hell I once knew.
The earth dissolves leaving me sinking down slow,
making my life a vapor forgotten in time.
Fire burns my soul while my heart bleeds into you,
making love the only thing left for me to share.
Water restores me to a being made for you,
living, dying, loving, just as we do.
Crying, hoping, facing all pain together,
sinking below the flames of denial.
Facing this reality broken as one,
no moon left to shine without love.
In my death where life becomes my way,
I feel you in the shadows, I taste you in the grave.
Making light the reasons shadows exist,
holding on for this touch of desire to give in.
Lips of poisonous love killing my heart,
in love with lust in passion we fall.
Take from my hand this reason to feel,
dark love in light times born in fire undone.
