Loves True Evil

I once ached for
Loves tender touch
I yearned to be in its world
That promised so much

I needed to be held
In its gentle embrace
As it filled my hearts
Dark and empty space

Then I saw its true form
I was left broken and uncovered
Against this worlds cruelty
Its true madness I soon discovered

I had no choice so I fled
And I left my torn heart behind
In the shadows I watched it wreak havoc
But no longer will I flee from its kind

Now love bears down upon
Me like an angry storm
And I’ll fight it to the end
To it I will never conform

It’s so succulent and so tempting
Will you be its puppet lying limp and still
Hoping, watching and waiting for it
Only to be animated by its unyielding will

Though love is not tangible
Love is a strong and remarkable force
Breeding and multiplying among the weak
But through my veins it will never course

No more glorious and righteous tales
Of its brilliant and magnificent treasures
Many have fallen under its evil spell
For those I’ll battle against its false pleasures

Teetering on the edge of reality
I stand unafraid and brazenly alone
Against loves wrath I’ll never give in
because within me love has no home
