Black Heart Poem by April Humason

The day of reckoning, it has arrived,
He sees the darkness, the truths I've denied.
No more deceit, no hiding my desires,
In my eyes, he finds those sinful fires.

A disguise I wore, like Lucifer's play,
He was my prize, my guiding ray,
But blinded by vices, I couldn't see,
The idol I lost, the love that could be.

I squandered my future, foolishly,
Singing praises to the devil's decree,
Lost in dirty fantasies, I strayed,
Breaking promises that love had made.

In fleeting nights of lustful delight,
Sin's grip tightened, took all that was right,
Now worthless, I feel, in every gaze,
From you to him, lost in this haze.

From light to darkness, my world transformed,
Happiness replaced by shadows that stormed,
My words turned to lies, vows torn apart,
Regret's bitter taste, the curse of my heart.

This marks the end, there's no pretending,
No going back, no more mending.
Living with a black heart, tainted within,
The weight of my sins, the ultimate sin.

Touched his skin, and now I'm condemned,
Chained to death, my fate's dark emblem,
My soul entwined, like a lethal meth,
In this tragic tale of my own death.
