Ah, Unrequited Love

When I met you
I was half a child
The world, though dark
Was somewhat mild.
I never knew
It mattered not
You weren't then close
And I forgot
How deadly men
Can grow to be
And demon spawn
You grew on me.
Don't get me wrong
I love the night
It covers up
Then sets things right.
You've changed my mind
And all my soul
You swallowed me
Then spat out whole
My inner heart
That aches and burns
For you it toils
And always yearns.
You are my hurt
You are my pride
Yet you hold me up
To heal me inside.
When I met you
I then was dead
I still am now
But alive instead.
Zombified:
A living doll
With you inside
So charmed and droll.
The golden apple
of sweet discord
Whose presence can
Not be ignored.
So take my hand
And want me back
Or else my life
Shall grow to lack.
So take my hand
And want me back
Or all I cherish
Shall fade to black.
So take my hand
And love me too
Or I will lose
My life to you.

The picture included is from the anime Vampire Knight, by Matsuri Hino. The two characters depicted, Yuki and Kaname, are in love, but have difficulty coming to terms with it. I felt it went well with the poem I just recently wrote, and I hope you enjoy the image as much as I do.
