Allures of Darkness

Beautiful and sacred in the dark
The moments of truth to me you grant
I have surrendered, I have given up on my lost soul, my heart
I'm nothing but a painful disarray, lusting and lulled
Left behind are the scars
Beautiful they seem to me, like thorns on a rose
I've bled I've cried, but now I see the  allure
The rich burn that sets me ablaze, stripped and carved
To be loved then put to death with a kiss on my lips, ambrosial and raw
Just for you to stay, your fingers curled in intolerable bliss and awe
You're gilded, winged and you're a constellation that keeps me calm
I'll sit in my throne of soundlessness,
While I watch them come and go
Like a million drops of this sea, and I wonder if they know
This pain that splits me asunder, makes me lay open and bare
Makes me cry and makes me cry in pleasure
Makes me die and makes me smile
I wouldn't change a thing, it's perfect, it's brilliant and it's real
Beautiful and sacred in the dark
