Afraid

 

Afraid

 

Flames lick these mortal wounds

blackened, all desire swoons

hope sweeps the light away

makes you wish for no day

 

Desire begins where day ends

lust in the touch of a friend

solemn vows thrown away

you say good bye, but you’ll stay

 

Breathe upon the candle’s flame

let the night hide your shame

inside this heat we must remain

unspilled blood leaves this stain

 

Chains of duty hold you bound

screaming souls make no sound

a fear you could never wish

served with garnish on this dish

 

A meal to eat with no knife

your soul to steal and your life

lay them down into my hands

darkness seals these bloody plans
