Betrayal’s Payment

darkness

You pull me into your embrace
Yet I feel no warmth.
You whisper words of love
Yet my heart shrivels and dies.
The air around me grows thick
My breathing comes in gasps
As I sink to the cold stone floor
As darkness surrounds me
Smothering me
Too late I realize what is suddenly so clear
You are not my love come back to me
The one my heart and souls calls for in the night
But evil incarnate come to claim me
To pull me down into the depths of hell
For my betrayal is too deep
And there is no God or Angel who can save me
Only the Angel of Death can release me
Yet even he turns his back in shame and disgust
Leaving me to the one who will own me
Use me
Until I scream for a mercy that will never come
Until you forgive me for what I have done

You claimed me

Made me yours

Then tossed me aside

Breaking me

Forever lost

All to save me

From something

I never understood

Nor cared to

Now you return

Telling me

It was a mistake

Stupid

That you did not understand

What you had

What you were doing

As I watch you

Watching me

The thing that scares me

The most

Is that inside

Where my heart

My soul

Used to be

I believe you
