Relapsed Imaginings

What has happened to your hardened heart?
In the scope of this shallow reverie
I have come to see you, so far apart
From everyone within this stone menagerie.

Do not try to be a master in disguise
Among the shadows, darkness is despair.
You’ll sooner be a devil to despise,
Unaware of how you’ve come to care.

Though beautiful you always seem to be,
Darkness holds the best you have perceived.
Though death seems as certain to this degree,
I will not leave your love, so deceived.

For this shall be the power of my dreams,
Shattering the silence of your screams.
