Longing
Alluring in its desired quality
Though insanity runs it
Claiming its purity
to devour, squeeze all wholesomeness
As though it was a tattered rag
When all semblance of hope is lost
Black heart emerges
Disturbing, pausing to give weight to
As it begins to corrupt all beauty
Rendering it naked
Then proceed to whiter
Emaciate
Break
Defeated
