Bleed

I love him... but he bleeds
My soul is joined to his but now it's burning
That which was made to temper is instead being consumed to ash
He suffers, I suffer
But I do so gladly
I willingly sacrifice myself on his pain
Even though I know he'll be cutting up an already broken body, barely healed
Because when he is Joy, I am Joy
When he is Love, I bask in his dark light,
Ever blooming
I cannot watch him die, but neither can I walk away,
Not when his need is so great
Or perhaps it's just my own selfishness Thrusting me forward to hold him, keep him
Releasing him from his suffering means doubling my own...
And I'm not strong enough...
Not for that
My beloved bleeds
And I can only kneel and watch his blood seep through my fingers
He is lost
So I follow
With eyes wide shut
What else can I do?
We hold each others hearts...
And they're breaking.
Bleed for me, dear heart
And with undying love I shall fade...
Into the darkness we go, moonlight
Sinking gently in the cool bliss of the abyss
My love... is this.

Spirals...

Life spirals thru twists in Time,
With Chaos ever pulling toward the abyss...
But even the depths hold color...
In Passion...
In Faith...
In Pride...
And most deeply... Love...
