Shadow of a Dead Heart

I begged for your love

For a darkened heart that could not return it.

I begged for love in the hollow of your arms

I begged for warmth in the shadow of your indifference.

I begged for your love

For a flicker of fire in your frozen gaze.

I begged for words that never came

I begged for a touch that only haunted me

~

I begged for your love

For a soul that could not meet mine

I begged for passion in the corners of your silence 

I begged for a mercy you would not give

~

I begged for your love

And in my begging, I became a ghost

Haunted by the echo of a love that never belonged to me.

With that, I let go
