A Broken Kind of Love

He walked through fire. She walked on air.

Through smoke Through clouds

Through Brimstone. Through Stars.

He trod a road of Hell. She trod a road of Heaven

And he suffered for it. And she was naive.

He burned She fell

He hurt She was hurt

He lied She was lied to

He cried She smiled

But never did he submit. But never did she learn.

And when he left that unholy place, And when she lost sight of what was holy,

He took it with him She lost herself

He carried it in his heart. She was empty.

Hell Fire danced in his footprints Tears were all she had left

Flickered in his shadow But she would not shed them

Nestled in his soul. She held them in her soul.

It burned wherever he walked It hurt when she smiled

Smoldered Cracked

Destroyed Shattered

And still he could not let it go And still she would not cry

Until he met Her. Until she met Him

She was beautiful

He was dangerous

She was kind

He was tragic

And so

She cried for him

And he put out his flames.
