Love Poem: The Depths of Red

The Depths of Red

Night unfolds, her arms around me
The killing choke of loneliness... 
The silent breeze of longing, easily
escapes the high solid walls of a
tormented heart.

And why do I ask for something I can
never have?
The sight of beauty, it deceives me.
A moment of happiness turns to agony.
Please, slap me back to my reality.

I am free to speak whenever I am away.
Free to dance to the music of one's desires.
Every single night I fight a losing battle
within...
And when the storm clears, only the remnants
of my painful past remains.

Feed me with my own lies!
"She is my queen and I am her king."
I know i am losing my sanity!
I learned to breathe this deadly air,
just for a moment... to be with you...
I have risked eternity.

Beg for a new day.
To wake up one day, a different man
with a different heart. 
A heart that doesn't screams your name.
A heart that doesn't bleed for no one.
A numb, solid heart, to feel no more.
To wake up one day, and never knew love.
To spare me the pain of not having you...
Tomorrow, I will die once more.
