*Thrown to the Shadows"
I woke to find she'd vanished like smoke,
A Khthonix sorceress, with heart as dark as coal.
Our love was a curse, her touch a cruel joke,
Left me to rot, in a loveless hole.
Her scales shimmered false, like midnight's deceit,
Whispers of honey, led me to bitter pain.
She'd drain my soul, with each wicked repeat,
Till I was hollow, a husk of love's vain strain.
Now her darkness lingers, a poisonous air,
Reminding me of the love we didn't dare.
In Portland's night, I'll wander, lost and bare,
Cursing the night I fell to her Khthonix snare.
Edit: Still reeling, still broken. Guess that's what happens when you fall for a demon in disguise
