Walk on by

Sometimes better to have never loved and lost

Darkness swallow me
drowned me in your fallen stars,
illuminate no more my painted smile
that hides the shadows of my scars.
Self inflicted and bore with shame
no blade ever cut a heart so deep,
for as a moth I tasted your flame
and came down hard a broken heap.
Souless shell spent and cast aside
a one time fix and failed thrill,
licking the wounds of injured pride
eating crumbs of affections overspill.
Turn back the time and walk on by
as best we had never met,
for less the pain of asking why
can I forgive yet not forget.
