Purely Tainted

Purely Tainted

 

Your love before me

so precious and rare.

I dare not taint it

with poison-tipped fingers.

I deserve not this gift

of lingering devotion,

this bounty of grace

and boundless adoration.

I gaze upon you and

I am blinded by your pureness...

I am damaged and undeserving

of such beauty.

The evil within my soul hearkens to

grab hold of your angelic soul

and see it twisted with discontentment.

Loneliness wishes to

perch upon you doorstep and

wait you bid it enter.

Jealousy wishes to settle within your heart

as a blackened root of malice...

spreading it's vines of hatred and 

stealing the innocence of your soul...

Until, one day, I meet your eyes and

gaze into twin pools of resentment.

Essence shattering...my love lies hidden

within my dormant soul.

My arms cage my chest..

as half my heart is torn from breast.
