These Desires

To taste the sunlight as it dances from the forbidden 

Eager to breathe what remains of this fragile tragedy

Willingly ignorant to the silent screams echoing in the distance 

For no one's ears but my own

The core of this shallow existence 

Brought to life by this lingering fear  

As it angrily flirts with agile temptation

To starve myself of this 

Would mean suffocation at its worst

Stealing my breath while devouring my desires 

The true meaning of death itself

Craving no more than to place my hand in the fire 

For the flame is the only thing that will save me

Bleeding with envy

Choking on the thorns of a black rose 

I am wilting with every second spared 

Drowning in pure satisfaction as I close my eyes to dream-
