Down in the deepest hollows of my heart,

Lives someone with whom I cannot part.

I waited nigh and day for him to leave,

The one true love I ever believed.

Late at night he comes to me,

The dreams I always wish could be.

He grazes my hair and pulls me close,

The pining feeling that I cannot dispose.

I feel him always, he is here; within me, by me, he's always near.

Don't open your eyes, don't let go.

Hold me tight and say this isn't so.

My breath is growing cold and the night long,

My heart is growing weak, but this flame shines so strong.

This love like a child is innocent and so pure,

This nameless sickness has no cure.

For you are engraved within me in the deepest hollows of my heart.

From you I promise, I shall never part...

Welcome! I always suck at bios but here goes. I love writing, it’s come passionately since I was about 12. That’s when I became a peak anime and video game nerd. I dabble in short stories and poetry :)
