His Penitentiary of Pain....

   
With only a mere glance and without  intent on his part,  it's visible.
He tries best to push what's sullen beneath the surface of notice.....    
But his language of gesture grabs hold,     
pulling my empathic heart strings into a weakened state.      
      
Within the reflection of his reciprocal smile, I see such force behind the curved expression...      
My wine stained lips to his, I'd seal with inhebriating sips of eternal      
happiness.      
A million sorrows, he tries to conceal beneath the lids of his eyes...      
I'd crawl inside his psyche and build a village of pyre;      
turning worries into ash of forgotten evanescence.      
In the timbre of his voice, there dwells  hesitation ...       
I'd traipse through his wilderness soul,    chasing each demon through filters of streaming light.       
     
If only to heal his tribulations so easily,  
 I'd lay down my life as he would of my own....    
But instead, I'll serve a life sentence in his penitentiary of pain;      
our demons dancing side by side with cyanide smiles.

I honestly just came out of the shadows to actually post something and thought it kinda fit the bill for the Valentine's comp, so what the hell, just give it a go...
