1. The View From By Your Side by BrokenPromise

The View From By Your Side by BrokenPromise
Your darkness sears your mind, a piercing flame.
So many years I have watched it burn:
It slowly kills you, renders you insane.

For all those years, you lusted for their pain;
Enchained, you couldn’t reach. You could only yearn
While your darkness seared your mind, a piercing flame.

You never left him, in your mind. You maim
My heart as you wait for his return.
It slowly kills me; it renders you insane.

Darkness never leaves you, it’s in the name
You left for me -- me, a man you spurn
While Darkness sears your mind, a piercing flame.

You leave me once more at midnight; the wane
Of our love and your devotion since his return
Slowly kills me, renders me insane.

I loved you then; I love you still the same,
Though you no longer want my love. You turn
To his darkness, that sears your mind: a piercing flame
Which slowly kills you, renders you insane.
