If Only
Keep inflating those hollowed out dreams
And that fractured heart of yours will tumble into pieces
Down into that hell you created
With the tears of the innocent
And the now-corrupted love of the one
Who held you in the dark
And chased away the Shadows.
Swallow the bitterness that is the aftertaste
Of pride which has long been digested
And absorbed into the sickening cells of your blood
To be later drunk by those demons
You so willingly worshipped for just a moment
That passed all too quickly
And your sacrifice that will last an eternity
While your soul screams and shrieks
Beneath the subbasement of hell.
The one you destroyed without a second thought.
The one who walked to the ends of the earth on bloody feet.
The one who wept silver daggers from her eyes.
The one who allowed her soul to be corrupted just to save yours.
If only she knew.
If only she had been told.
If only love hadn't prevented her from seeing the path she was walking.
If only she could take it all back.
She would still make all the same choices.
For him.
