In a pit of desire,

I've helped a flame along,

that burns me black,

though I'm still wet at the core,

quenched in blood and gore,

waiting for a spark,

another flame of fire.

I wonder if this smoke has helped,

these thoughts, still a part of thin air,

borne out of dawn and dusk,

based on lies, still somewhere just,

I wonder if its all eclipsed,

with a dark light,

under which this heart has dwelt.

I know it will go with the ticking clock,

and leave me with a regret that'll halt my breath,

it'd make me choke,

it'd make me fall,

though I was the one who never feared it all,

I wish I knew the face behind the mask,

when my door was knocked.

I wish I saw that instinct,

that you hid under that smile,

and made me fall in love,

before I could think for another while,

I wish you came all true,

I wish it stayed the same,

but with blood oozing out my neck,

I wish you gave me a reason,

I wish you gave me a hint.
