Destroy Me

You are
darkness enclosing
the moon and the stars.
Seeping into my core and yet
so careful not to graze my touch.
Darkness that eats at
the hearstrings of my soul,
and we know full well that
time is not the enemy.
You are
darkness and you said
you were protecting me from yourself.
From the monster you think you are.
But you don’t know who
the real monster is.
You are
darkness and I…
I do not want to forget
this want for you,
this need for you.
Let me be another girl and you
another man, and we would be
free from chains and
blood thicker than water.
Because you are the darkness
and the mere thought of you makes me
lose myself.

I am succumbing
to ruination.
And you are
destroying me.
