My Dirty Darkness

A day goes by
All I remember is you.
The way we talked,
The way we laughed
The way we love.

I cannot recall my friend’s words
Nor my enemies malicious glares.
Only you
And yet
When I read what you had to say
I felt like a complete stranger wrote them.

Why my love?
Why won’t you open that part of yourself to me?
I know you say that it is Hell’s fires
And darkness and pain.
But I want that part of you too.

You don’t see do you?
I want to take in that piece of you
And revel in the flame's sweet kiss.
Only the fires
Of something so painfully delicious
Could leave a print so intense, so distinct.

It sounds cruel and morbid,
But I love that pain.
I love the blissful warmth it can bring.
I adore its strong grasp on me.

Please my darling one,
Don’t bar me from the flames.
Don’t try to hide them from me,
Please, let me embrace you.
All of you

The sweetly gentleness,
The violent fires
Searing their way through me.
Such ecstasy
And such pain.
Mixing together so beautifully.
Accept me into the fires of Hell.
