By now I must be
little more than an ache you
once felt
I miss you so much but
It was written from the
Start that I would disappear
That I would stay only as long as desire
I was the devil sent to tempt
You with forbidden lies
I was the apathetic god
That sent the devil so I
Could watch with disinterest
I am the lie that anything
Exists on the path from desire
To regret
I keep you near only
Until you love me
Until the intensity overwhelms
The light and dark burst
From your chest
I am blinded and choked
Clutch my throat
Fall to my knees
Press my head to the pavement
I must leave so I
Might die alone
Remove my mask
Fade into anonymity
The winter will melt
I will become that ache you feel
Somewhere between sin and misery
While I seek a muse to hear my confession
Your scar that tells the story of me
Fades to nothing
