And Life Goes On...

If you must, hurt me now so I stay away, Bring out your worst, don't spare me the pain, Let your dark side find me alone, Let your vice shadow over all I adore, For only then it is that I can begin to fix, All that you feel is wrong... If you must, free the beast, so I can slay it's core, Bring out your worst, don't hold back now, Show me all you're capable of, So I can prove to you, and to the world, You're all but the beast you think you are, You're home to me, this is where you belong.

Of strangers filling voids Created by the ones most trusted, Some brought forth as lives entwined - Into the darkness, into the light, A bond forged, inhibitions set aside, Unbound by blood, guided by love - Madness personified! Of this stronger love filling voids Till there weren't any left, They set off, towards the woods, Into the deepest end, where the sun never set, The light never dimmed, Cautiously they'd chosen - Knowing the light here came from within.
