Torment

[chalicerae]

Once my heart had gone dark
Not a single ember smouldered
I was unprepared for your spark
And the burden to be shouldered
How can my soulmate be you?

Wish my mind would go blank
Not a memory of you remaining
I'd like to know who to thank
For the torture I'm sustaining
How can my heart want you?

Now there's nothing left unspoken
Not a stray kind word can change
The damage done, for I am broken
And my love will grow estranged
How can I live without you?
