Black

Like a moth to a flame

I was drawn to this place

Striving to hold onto innocence

You were a haunting memory that refused to leave

But I couldn't let go of the pieces of you

I crave the taste of you, an insatiable hunger

And I couldn't dare to take a bite.

I would never expect you to understand

How the demons that terrorized me

Turned me into a man

And I am no longer the person that you once knew.

Broken.

White

The smell of warm brew welcomed me

And I knew I was home

Your purity restored

My innocence, my humanity

Me

If I fade away, then you will know

I gave my all to save you

A single drop of blood drips onto the rose

And even though I am tainted,

I am still

Human.
