Free

I’m the curse within your eyes, when you fall asleep.  
I am the want of your soul, the one that runs too deep.  
Now you come and speak to me, fanning bright the flame.  
Then you leave as before, a need without a name.  
So walk, NO! RUN AWAY! Burn that bridge once more.  
But you will be crawling back, welcome to my door.  
 
I’m the balm to ease the pain, of your hopeless fate  
The drug you use to give you joy, one you chose to hate.  
A monsters how you see me, from a slanted view  
Reality is too harsh a thing, don’t accept what’s true  
That need is not the only thing that you know from me.  
Love, is for the weak you say, that you’ll never be.  
 
Cold control in what you feel, when you need to breathe  
Passions flames steal your air, the only choice is leave.  
“Trust me with your very soul”, that is as you ask.  
Proof is all I have to give, each and every task.  
Broken, all we have, and all that you desire.  
Pieces of a hope in us, lust a long dead pyre.  
 
Have you picked the lesser life? Simple, and so light?  
Empty when you dream alone, each and every night?  
When slumbers done its will, as morning bright and clean  
How will you lie to yourself? Twisting what I mean.  
As we were bound together, we have been from the start  
Mutate my words within your mind. Poison your lost heart  
 
Eros is the only child that you have known or borne.  
Venus is crueler still her hex against you sworn  
For she and pain walk hand in hand, lay in each other arms  
A lesson learned quite long ago, from a mothers charms  
Refuge is in hiding there, in cool faux apathy  
Believing that the lie, at most, in this life was me.  
 
Ardor is not true in life, you let your heart decay  
“Take this light, I want no more,” a wish in what your say  
Run from me, as you will, this has been the last.  
Refuse the facts, before you now, just as in the past.  
For you do not believe in love, nothing proves it’s true  
This is why I must at last, be finally free of you.
