Bait
You play so elegantly on the strings of my bleeding heart. A beautiful broken love song I tearfully watch and listen to. Unable to turn away from your breath taking smile, even as my whole world trembles in rhythm while I long to be a part of your crestfallen melody.
Sadly, I am forced to watch you from miles away, because if I were to take another step closer, the overwhemling torment and agony you burned into my hall of memories, would rush to welcome me back into its unbreakable embrace.
But even if I manage to avoid it, I would be stuck in an impossible game, racing towards you, but being chased by the monster who is never too far behind.
You are the light at the end of the tunnel, and yet you, you have caged me in, using me as bait. You left me to scream as the dark figure closes in on me.
I desperately crawl to the bars of my prison, where I am finally able to feel the warmth of your glowing fire on my ashen skin.
Before the shadows consume me,
Before I feel no more.
