Crimson soul

By nightshade

Gazing into your crimson eyes
I swim upon the ocean that was your soul
Two separate universes entwined together
Here the warmth chases away the cold
The silken caress of your fingers across my skin
the way you've touched me with your voice
Spans the barrier I have placed
And allows me to realize i have a choice
You stand behind me, your fallen angel
You hide me from the enemy which lies within
You lift me up on your alter,
Cleanse me of my sin
You hold me softly in your arms
while whispering words of pain
how I wish I could help you
But everything I do is in vain
