The beckoning in your eyes,
Never slaked but always ate
At the back of my mind
Rotting, pleading for aid

Hemorrhaging stale remorse
In cataracts of anguish
Vexing to heal at the source
Draining, leaving you languished

For a chance, a single chance
To prove your adoration
Twisting backwards in a dance
Longing for vindication

A way through this bleak labyrinth
Of grotesque winding mirrors
Seeking a way to breech through
Miles of profound terror

Never feigned, nor ever faint
Your self sacrificial heart
Fervently beats untainted
You pick up the shattered shards

Stone by stone you dismember
These walls stretching to the sky,
Fueled by a single ember
You never cease to try

Try to reach through my tower
Spiraling, giving your all
To tare down these false bowers
& Silence my fall in your arms
Biweekly prompts of the group #DarkSentences
Don't know if it's done or not yet.
Inspired by the prompt "Sacrifice" & a friend whose always truly unconditionally been there for me. He took a lot of time & effort to figure me out, help me when I was down, & offer unbiased advice, even when I was with another. I admit, he's probably been through hell & back with me, yet never wavered(yet never was overbearing either). Once I finally got my head out of my ass I realized how much of a truly good of a person he was & fell for him.
