So gently at first,
like a long soft passionate kiss,
innocent to virgin eyes,
a temptation not to be missed, 
Luring, with cunning precision,
all will follow,
With empty hopes and hollow promises.
There has never been remorse,
There has never been an escape.
Only the embracing arms of a blanketing darkness caressing you like a long lost love.
It's so comfortable in the darkness.
So easy to turn your head to the bitter world,
The world that has brought you so much pain and sadness.
A world that showed you such a powerful love,
Only to rip it violently and without warning from your vulnerable hands.
So you settle into the vast darkness that shows unconditional love through the promise of an end to the pain.
But no one is there to warn you of the price you must pay.
So you take your first steps into oblivion,
Never looking back to see what you leave behind,
And you are reborn into the night,
Emotionless
With nothing but the maddening thoughts of a love you may never regain,                           And an eternity in this place somehow seems so close.
