In the darkness I stand,
With a ruptured soul
And an unclaimed heart.

I feel it wash over me;
The need and the wistful longing
To find solace for my pain.

I feel my heart beat against yours,
As my hot tears caress my skin.
With silent whispers,
My lips seek yours.

Your tortured kiss soothes me.

I ache to embrace you
And feed on your strength.

But I know it won't last.

I can feel you start to pull away,
Leaving me alone
With unfulfilled dreams.

In the broken shadows...
I will wait.
