Palm Spike

Before you have a chance

To collapse to the ground,

I ran and caught you in my arms

Turning you around,

To get a better look at you,

Why did you fall in love with me

Was it because you needed someone

To fill the hole in your heart?

If not, then what was the reason

For it?

I lay your unconscious body

On the concrete floor

Blood seeping out of your wings

My palm spikes sticking out of them

I cringe with regret at what I did to you

I guess it had to be done

To save you from your inner darkness

I kneel down on my knee by your side,

My hand hovers over your heart

Preparing to fire one final palm spike

To put an end to your suffering

I couldn't go through with it

Something stops me from doing so,

From committing the act

Was I ready to pay

The ultimate price

To sever my bond

With you

I can't quite get over the feeling

Of uncertain emotions

That are blooming

In my hollow heart

Before we even met

The only thing I care about besides my species

Were my pets

Who I had ever since birth.
