Love brings nothing but harm to those who stand against it

Vanessa Foster

As I hold my lover's bleeding heart in my hands,

The rivers of red flow as far as my elbow goes.

There is no escape from heartache,

Your soul was mine to take.

Dear lover,

I bet you didn't discover 

My darker side 

Whilst you stood beside me 

You understood the timing of our passion

Right when I have turned this home to ashes

Now I shed tears as you bleed in my arms

Love brings nothing but harm

To those who stand against it

We are facing our fears

I have commited arson with fierce when you were next to me

Now that you're gone,

There is no sex in me

Forgive me father for I have sinned 

The lustful taste of my lover dripping from my mouth 

It's all I have left of him in this empty house
