What if there was a person whose love was like a cancer? An emotional vampire whose only way to survive was to kill the person they most cared about?
You left me alone
there at the very end
With my golden heart beating out
The last shred of light
in the near total darkness.
On my hands and knees
trembling, unable to rise
And follow your fading footsteps
You let the darkness engulf you
Hide you, your betrayal
As my blood ran down my hands
to pool on the uneven stones
My soul slowly fading
Like the last flickering firefly
dying in the night
Waiting for the blackness to claim me
And I realized,
Of course you had to leave me at the end
Your loss made the end.
There was nothing but you anymore
Inside, all you and myself just the cladding
But I thank you for your kindness
That when you killed me
Left me with a hole straight through my chest
You left me so thoroughly
The night that swallowed you
couldn't devour me as well.
And spat me back out
When I woke up,
What was left of me
was back inside me
where it belongs
With clean bandages
covering the empty spots
So I could grow back, healthy and strong
and with my soul mine.
