It Happened Quiet

You are the promise of love,
the torch to my darkness.
Your words feel like a feverish touch,
your skin gives me comfort.
I am Icarus and you are the sun,
you are a candle I am willing to touch.

It happened quiet. But I was screaming.

I painted the bed red
as you leave me hanging and dead.
It happened quiet but
my innocence is screaming out for help.

A gentle earthquake,
a rupture on my skin.
Every river turns red,
as I bleed on the concrete.

You were the promise of love,
a double-faced demon.
Charred wings, chained limbs;
my never-ending nightmare.
Violently delicate, I can't stay here.
I ran off with a knife and a prayer.
