Put none of thy faith in me,
For I will disappoint and
Squander it selfishly as a
Human must. Allow me to
Make you no promise, as
I will most certainly destroy
It, no matter how I try.
It would be by my hand
That you reached your
Demise, unbeknownst to
Either of us two, of course.
Alas, I have once kissed thy
Lips and ere, I have murdered
Thee; I have unwittingly signed
The Devil's contract and in
Giving you up in my place, I
Have doubly condemned myself.
Be wary, all you that trust in
Me- I am a selfish creature, by
Whom courtesy and mercy are
Not known. Tread lightly, as the
World is much quieter now, though
The wreckage still remains.
If thou canst recall all of these
Things I once promised to thee,
Thou shalt find that all these are
But falsities, though that was never
My intent. I tried for your sake and mine,
To let you slip away easily, perhaps even
Unnoticed... Such separations are complex
And I still find myself unable to fathom
This empty part of myself that you used
To fill . I cannot help but allow
Myself to contemplate the depth
Of this damnable abyss that continues
To feed on me; this gaping hole that may
Never be filled again. But is it worth such
A misery that we found in eachother?
The constant wars and verbal murders
Were just too much to bear... Yes, I
Love thee, and have loved thee, and
Will always love thee... I just cannot
Bring myself to remain in such a place
That I found myself in before. I would
Offer my apologies to thee, in exchange
For a silent departure, but that would
Mean that these aforementioned apologies
Would have to exist. I am not sorry
For the choices I have made. I will
Always remember you, and you will always
Be a part of me. If it is meant to be,
Then it shall find its way. But as for now,
There is nothing that shall remain
Between us, save for my unwavering love
For you, and this knife in my
heart.
