Frozen Heart

Love.\
What a pathetic, absurd illusion.\
A fairy tale spun for weak, useless bastards,\
Too blind to grasp the world as it truly is.\
\
The world is a rotting, godforsaken wasteland\
Where only lies and deception thrive.\
Everyone wears a mask.\
Everyone hides a blade.\
There are no saints here.\
Nothing left but shades of grey.\
\
I swore by that claim for years,\
Until I met her.\
\
A single innocent soul in a world drenched in sin.\
A ray of sunshine in the bottomless black abyss,\
A delicate flower from whom I must stay as far away as possible.\
\
I can't.\
I am going to steal her light,\
Even knowing it was never meant for me.
