Dark

The marks on my skin bear your name
The world is pieced together but never the same.

You burned through my dreams like a ball of fire
You thought that I could meet your desires.

And when the paper crumbled to ash
You cut the earth and left a gash.

With the remains to carry and souls to lift
I traded with luck for dangerous gifts.

When the earth finally gave way
I was the one who had to pay.

The abyss was dark and I couldn't escape
His time had come and the devil took shape.

But then a light came and pulled me out
It defeated the devil and showed us the route.

I rebuild the world using blood, sweat, and tears
Thinking much of those horrid years.

When the world was done and I’d begun again
I remembered you and where I have been.
