My Darkness

My darkness, was all I had

Holding me, gripping me mad

I did not speak of this,

my only sweet love

Never, forever, anew, 

loving you.

I had to pick, 

between the two.

A decision, in my hands

And I chose to relinquish my lands

Giving myself

To the dark sea

Thus destroying “you+me”

Rings of fire, clad my heart

Because we had to be apart

My legs were blistered, 

kneeling in pain.

My eyes were weary, 

crying in vain.

My hands, 

never griped a sword again.

Wayward longing fills my mind

All those options left behind.

What to win? What to lose? 

What mistake will I choose?

Bring your gifts, 

to my door.

I don't live there, 

anymore.

Just remember me, 

as sweet as before.

One night I screamed, unto the sea

“It should have picked you, never me”

The rock of burden,

was left to fall

On that spot,

I bled it all
