With every glance I grow stronger.
With every look you fade more.
With ever step you seem farther.
You used to be my light even if you weren't for me.
You used to the the thing that brightened my day.
But now I regret moment I spent on you.
You seemed mysterious, untouchable.
It was such an act,
The mystery was something i shouldn't have discovered.
Your untouchable, and bitter.
Your eyes seemed deep, inviting me to peer in and get lost.
Something full of spark and life.
Now they still seem deep but they are dark.
I peered in too far.
I got lost in deep parts i didn't like.
They are now just dark, hateful, and tormentingly evil.
The kind that can pierce in pain.
