Darkness Understands

darkness occupies
what blatant love denies
to fill a certain void
which i seem to enjoy
it always leaves me blind
inside a broken place
love can only heal
that which isn't real

let me stay gone
darkness understands
gnawing on your skin
to watch blood become blood

purity hides it light
from what i've become
a glaring idolatry
a haunted memory
it always leaves me blind
inside a broken place
love can only heal
that which isn't real
