Lamenting Love

The sadness of this place brings me down,

My heart burning with the need for love,

The hunger for lust, the want for comfort.

Humanity has stripped away my feelings,

I remain silent during harsh times and harden

Against the trials of my life, I care for nothing.

My stone mask is unbroken, my mouth an

Unwavering smirk, no warmth will reach my eyes

As I watch you lay there bleeding, watch you die.

My hunger deepens as the moon waxes full,

But the shred of feelings left at the back of my

Heart pulls me away, screaming for me to stop.

I can’t, it is my life or yours, the strong or the weak.

You ask me to spare you, you say you loved me.

Love is a useless emotion, for me at least.

I did love you once; I know that much is true,

But you spited me, you shoved me away, you

Hurt and beat me, the abuse is at an end.

I hesitate as I raise my claw above you,

My hand itching to feel your flesh beneath it,

My lips wanting to feel the warmth of your flesh.

The life blood that flows through your veins

Ebbs and flows with the beat of your twisted

Heart, how I could love a monster like you is a mystery.

I turn, no; I will not taint myself with your foul

Liquid, the poison that runs through you will surely

Destroy me, and I will not let that happen again.

The window shuts as I return to my lair, the strong arms

Of my master, my true lover, opens wide to admit me into

His embrace as I weep gently, lamenting the love I felt for you.
