This darkness I seek, it flows all around me.
I wait for it to clutch me and never let me go.
I allow it to fill me as we become one.
Because there's not an ounce of light that can save my soul.
I have been broken many times of more than I can count
Yet I always find the pieces to put back together.
I thought you could be the glue that I longed for
Yet nothing seemed to work for nothing mattered.
I opened myself to be vulnerable to the world
For I thought you were the light I was seeking.
But you were just a wish I longed to have
But ended up turning and breaking me.
I thought it was you who killed me at first
But it was really me who was slowly decaying.
I jumped to conclusions and thought you deserved better
And couldn't behold the beauty that I was seeing.
I kept my darkness in my sight
And made you into something you weren't.
For that was my fault and my fault alone
But it is mine and mine alone to bear this hurt.
In the end, no matter how true it may be
I will be the death of you in any way you see.
I have loved with all my heart that I cannot deny
Even if now it seems like I have broken everything.
For I see my faults and won't deny them
But soon they will fly down like fire and lightning.
For I fear with my actions, I have caused us to end
For you loved a soul-less angel as I fell for a soulful demon.
