Half Empty

The sweetest venom, love has left

In the hole I've made beneath my armor...

And empty notions left proclaiming,

That her heart might be still mine

Darker dreams and sallow yearnings,

Had I felt this... before a kiss,

Her fangs slowly unfurling...

Perhaps my soul...

Would not yet be starved.

But I am a warrior, and I learn slowly

That thicker skin, leaves the heart half empty
