shiver

 
darker and darker still
runs cold the water deeper
Lingers love, but it is outshone

surrender to the loneliness
shivers the doubt to feel you once more
increasing fear it will never be

conniving heart seeking redemption
from my cast-off state
staring into the emptiness of fate

fatal need I need too much
greedy understanding there was always something
So clever about you

Stroking your ego only boosted mine
selfish love ever lies
narcissistic lust with chaotic ties bind

releasing the fantasy, I taste reality for the first time
you don't desire the way I do
You shrug and off to the next one

Still my soul will find yours in those bleak moments
and you will hunger for another bite of me
to stave off your demons
