» Poem: Sweet Bedlam
Sweet Bedlam
written by Lothiriel

This is my confession of sorts
It isn't easy to partake in the hurt
that I'll burn inside you
It isn't simple to give reasons
when there's only deception in my lies

And I never meant to hurt you
Never meant to drag you along
in my own depraved game

I wanted to run to you in the dark of night
For so long I wanted for only you
And I still do, I still do
I ache for only you

I have no excuses that could rationalize my faults
Or how I’ll have drug you down
White lies are our language
I meant you no harm
Dark secrets are our sacred deceits
Something to keep us warm

I know I've hurt you
I know doubt has settled
into the far reaches of your heart
and I know I've shamed the fears
that you keep hidden from yourself
When I told you that I could read them
like neon signs that alight in your eyes

I wanted to run to you in the dark of night
For so long I wanted for only you
And I still do, I still do
I ache for only you

Maybe it’s easier on you to move on
Keep going
I wouldn’t expect you to have faith in me
after all that I’ve done
And I’ve hurt you
I’ve let you down
again
I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you
When I was immoral to you from the day we met
And I would never expect you to believe
That I wasn’t intentionally untruthful
I should have come clean from the start

And I never meant to hurt you
Never meant to drag you along
in my own depraved game
I never knew
That I would fall in love with you
