Words from a bleeding heart

You walked in my life one night
Smiling, tempting, flirting
You were an unknown flame
To the moths assembled there.

Throwing sideway glances,
You always had a cocky smile
As if you had all the answers
As if we were small and insignificant
Cosmic jokes.

To my own surprise, you were much more
Than some kind of succubus
With your fierce red hair
And mesmerizing body clad in black velvet.
You may have made me light-headed
With that vanilla swirling around you,
But talking to you was equally refreshing.

Like water to the desert sand,
Your presence enabled me to recognize an equal
Or someone close enough to save me.

The shakes that took over my body when you touched me
Were nothing compared to my own demons
I really thought you could save me
Save me from myself,
From those nightmare visions filling me up
Night and day
Like blood pooling under me
Drowning me.

And yet
And yet you hurt me some more.
You betrayed me, stabbed me, crushed my soul
Only to open your arms and welcome me back.

To save the shell of what was left of me,
I only had the choice of hurting you
Of pushing you back, of killing me further.

The only place left for my bleeding heart
Were the dark recesses of my own abyss
From where you pulled me,
Only to see me fall further,
Never stopping
Pieces of my soul stripped away
By the burning blades of the living shadows.
