She Came Darkly
She came darkly
with grave intent
eyes black as coal
to take my soul
She came darkly
to rip my heart
to take her fill
tear love apart
She came darkly
to bite my flesh
to break my spirit
her dark intent
She came darkly
to force my hand
And I just let her
I made no stand
I watched her feast
inside my chest
I watch as blood
dripped down her neck
And I was glad
she put to rest
this tired life
that I detest
For she is darkly
grave with sin
and I would gladly
love again
