Parting Duality

To live is to love, to love is to hurt.
Truth? Perhaps. Guide me my dying star, show me the way through this frame of mind.

The fog pulling on my wayward soul, in a perpetual struggle with the shadow coating my senses.
Light the fractured feelings in my heart, show me that love still has meaning.
Wipe away the darkness, bring back the morning light, the moonshine.
Bring back anything other than this eerie mist.

Creepy creatures longing for the lost. Salivating and awaiting.
Breathe. I am here. Forever after.
Deathly hues crowning us in the endless night. Shooting stars burning my ashen skin.
Fire blazing the nightmares, searing my body.

Maybe this is the fiery justice for the atrocities,
And sins my dead spirit has committed in the name of love.
Lead me deeper, further from ephemeral hope. Show me the wicked in my psyche.
Navigate my sinking ship out of the frigid seas.
Let me go, let me drift below the soil.

Stop my sanguine dreams.
Make them real,

Or suffocate them,

While I can still breathe without them.
