Catharsis
His claw marks of crimson on my shoulder
His shadow of evil, tainting which I have purified
In this dark world in which I know nothing
Only the fires of hate burns within me
Eating me away.
"I will take the four souls
To a safer world
A world in which
He can never have it"
I promise silently
And the flames testify
Witnesses of my hatred.
But the a flame
A demon flame
Jumps out
Haunting me
With a curious eye
A haughty glance
And a slowly melting gaze
A half-demon
Is also half-human
I told myself
A chance of salvation
By the right wish
You can be redeemed
Or so I thought.
In summer, in winter,
In spring, in fall,
The glance followed me
Waiting to be noticed
And then one day
I gave you the chance to stay
The chance to be saved.
A boat, a sunset
We sailed across the river of trust
A stumble, a hug
A promise to be together forever.
A rush, pain
An act of betrayal
You betrayed me!
You doomed me to this hate!
I will not let you
Take the four souls of my people away!
In the moment of truth
I sealed this feeling
Along with the demon within you
(You are part human, too
I could never kill you)
Goodbye, my beloved
We shall never meet again.
Fire of hate, flames of love
Purify me
Please cleanse away from me
this feeling...
