Words of the Broken and the Lover

Tainted Love

I worship your soul
Like a demon to a ghoul
I live for your lies
Like an angel in demise

Fallen heaven and angels' cries.
My love spared your life.
Let not it be the reason of your closing heart
         for your beauty is the sharpest among the thorns of these dead roses.

The pounding muscle in my chest
Condemned to execution like a plague
Begging for mercy, not to be saved
        by you but only to be accepted
Yet you ravaged it and now I'm left in anguish

Hell is a carnival for someone in the dark like me
         not for a white butterfly to roam around.
I, conceived by the darkness but owned by light
A solace I have found in the extinction of heaven.
        
Lost and found, you are, my sweet angel
         yet I am imprisoned by you.
Conditioned to take care of your heart and bound to love your soul.
Forever buried and mesmerized in your luscious beauty

I am torn in between
        my love and loyalty for you
You have berated me
        degraded my thinking

Still I have found courage
   to carve your presence in my soul
Love is merely child's play
I now realize how consumed you were
        by the oblivion of your spirit

And how I myself
       let it drag me to hell
With your innocence
       tainted and broken as well.

Incomplete hearts and soul.
A demon can be love and tamed
      yet to love a lost angel just would leave broken hearts.
We both knew well love brought us together and fate parted our ways.

The anger in me was not for my dearest sweet angel
      But to love and fate that made us into a joke.
Laughing at us like a fool entertaining their king.
It was like we were wild animals caught in the trap and struggling for our freedom.

However, our love may seemed foolishness
      But for a demon, who have felt love, it is a paradise that he never saw.
You spread your wings, feathers falling like flowers in the spring.
You are beautiful as ever yet this is the end of the fruit of our love.

In the midst of chaos and hell, I stood beside you
Even though I no longer possessed the warmth to touch you
A living corpse, the brand of my betrayal
Against my roots in the form of shattered glass.

My heart is yours, my life in the palm of your hands
        slowly rotting away from just your affection
Still I cannot committ treachery, for you are my god
I kneel only to serve you, until the day I perish
       from this beautiful sin I cannot break from.
