I'll tell you this
secret
I'll explain
in shadow
Once upon a time
I fell in love
adored ever whisper
from your lips
And as the sun fell
shadows hid us both
I gave you my soul
But you broke it.
You took this
beauty
I once had
and cracked it
till blood ran
So long ago
many moons past
yet I sit here
in my shadows
remembering
Though
in bandages still
though
you became my pain
ruined me
My soul throbs
heart beats
for you.

I know the feeling... and it won't count against you
A nice dark write with straying into the ghoulish... Well done and all my best...
