Good and evil battle
like lovers.
She lies still
and he, tortured,
the bloody sword sliding
through her fingers.

As winter snow
brings forth blossoms
pushing hope from the frozen ground,
what was good in him returns.

Breathing his name,
she holds him,
though their time is almost gone.
They kiss, as in a dream,
and say I love you,
but it doesn’t save them.

But, this time,
it does save the world.

close your eyes
and let me guide you to the darkness

No home.
No heart.
No breath.

Just here.
Just barely.

All the blossoms,
all the hope
held so deeply in her heart,
disappear,
as in a rear view mirror,
and leave her standing,

just barely,

and the world keeps turning,
as worlds tend to do.

encased in stone
lie my secrets
in the darkness hides my love

he was no longer the man
she had loved, but now a beast
mocking all she found sacred

making her bleed whenever possible
how she had asked for it by loving him
how she held hands with suffering’s cause

if i am worthy
the stone will soften
and take me with him into hell

she knew he was evil
she had tasted it even before he turned
but had believed love could protect them from the world

the first time he hit her
it felt like betrayal
the second time, punishment

they take your soul
then give it back and call it suffering

she was strong
but the blows damaged her
in places no one could see

she saw
the world’s sorrow
and felt unpure

close your eyes
and let me guide you through the darkness

she was destined
by the suffering
by the suffering in her soul

the demon’s breath
is merely waiting
waiting to inhale
