[mutedtempest]

You are the thief in the darkness -
you stole my heart away
but I don't care; I watch it go
with you and feel no regret at its absence.
You, however…I lament yours,
and the touch I shall never feel again.
How I long for your eyes.
When night falls, I am overcome
with a longing for
one more brush of your hand on my face
and the power of your embrace.
But in the end I am left crying
for the smoke in your eyes.
