A soul of darkness

We go our separate ways
Separate today
From the distance where
I watch
The past die madly in fits of protest
At the concept of existing no more.

In shame I am disfigured;
A reflection of my heart
Smeared black across the mirror
Shows the creature I am inside.
Skin peels from bruises
Nails claim flesh with hunger
I live blindly knowing I cannot control it;
I'm becoming a soul of darkness.

We go our separate ways
Separate today
From our lives together
I leave now, alone and unprotected,
Bending in the wind
I'm becoming a soul of darkness.
