My Darling Dearest

My darling dearest

It's time our collective facade come to an end

The words we spoke to adorn ears

Have now fallen astray as the years pass

Glistening eyes and hopeful smiles

Fade to something more longful

For who I am is far from who I was

Youthing coupling grew hopeful aspirations

That neither of us could keep

The love we carried was never enough to fuel

Everything we had hoped and dreamed

What was left with, is us

A tired pair left to rot aside one another

Neither spite nor malice grow between the two

Though the dying spark now rest in ash

From the monster I have the capacity to be

I shall leave that ash to stay

That heart you carry is not mine to break

Those emotions you hold to bare behind thin gates

As a gift, my heart lay open

Ready for the bruise

But until that batter, I regret what I keep

For somewhere deep inside

I know that you adore me and that I used to love you
