Sonnet of the Tainted

Sonnet of the Tainted

The Darkness kissed my face,
My heart did crumble and fade,
Now owned by hatred and fear,
And now I am no one dear.

Blood stained my pale, soft palm.
All through the night there was no calm
Screams formed songs in my ears,
And went ignored were my pained tears.

I lay tossing and turning,
Laughing, all the while crying.
There is no hope for redemption,
For a heart near-void of emotion.

Cold stabs kept me awake,
Nightmares linger, I can’t forsake.
My tears flowed, my heart bled
Into the darkness I forever tread.

Kiss me now, O blessed Light,
Save me from this wretched blight!
My pains I can shoulder no more.
This time I want to reach the shore.

I awake, tears dry on my cheeks,
My soul sang. My heart beat.
But my hand blood it still bore.
Tears and blood flow forevermore.
