Guilty

There you were, the very definition of perfection
I met you in my innocence, in my naivety
And you, in your confusion, let me in
For I promised to capture all the aspects of your soul
You opened up to me
And I helped you command your flaws
You opened me up to a world of possibility
You ripped out your heart and gave it to me for safekeeping
I remember feeling it beat in my hand
You showed me your unfiltered essence
But I, like the fool I was, turned my back to your love
I tightened my grip
And with it, tightened the noose I had around your throat
I hung you out to the wolves
I tore the clothes off your back
And happily watched as the cold gnawed away at you
You showed me a love so pure
But all I showed you was a world full of darkness
Like some sickened animal, I fed off your pain
You were my cure, and I was your disease
And now
Each time I hear your voice
It feels like I am loosing you all over again
Each time I see your face
I feel your tired soul tearing away from my sinful being
The other day when I looked into your eyes,
I saw the very last pieces of my happiness slowly fading away
Now,
Every time I think of you,
I swear,
My heart cringes.
