Take my pain away

It aches inside me.
The pain grows like
an iris in springtime,
only not as pretty.

I feel the core of hell,
yet the one Lucifer
holds dear is much more
colder than this.

Blood flows from the excuse
of a soul I have left. It's
far too pink, not as red
as a summer rose.

The rising day awakens, but
I am indebted to the
darkness. It owns me and
there is no escape-
only by the grace of
your love.
