Black Love

Take the hand, my friend of love
For this strain you can't endure
Now beaten by emotions
Once unvarnished and pure

No plea could help you
No scream would blare alive
Starving for trivial apprehension
You took your lethal dive

You fell into the arms of love
Yet could not see it's black
Rich in darkness

The shade you can't retain

You reached out for the light
But you've been touched by shade
Born of darkness

In which you shall remain

Safer path you've taken
Safer words you chose
What reflects your fragile nature
When the hand of death was close

The things we love
The things we hate
The things that drive our bitter fate
Downward this awful road
Of devotion and thorough pain

All you had once denied
Was true not a lie

Out there on that bright day
Determined in black devotion
We took that lethal way,
...away

I saw the clouds burst astray.
Showing you a new way
