maybe torture, or maybe heartbreak

a story soon forgotten 

red rose peddles, all rotted away 

feelings so attached all cut away 

diamonds turned to coal 

why’d you leave me, why’d you love me 

when you knew, you had sold your soul

i was so radiant 

now all there is, is a whisper

you made me believe magic was real 

now my fairy tale has turned so pale

an anthem spoken but not believed 

a brand new darkness has been conceived 

a new meaningless flower bloomed 

no better than the others 

after all, in the end we’re all doomed 

and so it became permanent 

no time to lament 

feeling doesn’t wait for our lacramae

only for times undesired 

times inspired 

by pain and envy 

you told me you were mine 

but your quintessence is in chains 

not in my arms 

it drives me insane

maybe the demons will let you go 

but even after that

in your heart 

the devil still reigns your soul 

haunted by a monstrous toll 

do not run to me 

your heart doesn’t belong to me 

it belongs to yourself

you’ve fallen 

and i cannot help.
