Under darkened highlights

and secondary gloom

love came and went all too soon.

Shadowed hearts weep

in a darkened corner of your mind

when time has been so unkind.

Melancholy madness

shackled up with golden chains

your soul is beautifully insane.

Surrounded by velvet walls

you've locked yourself inside

to try and salvage whatever is left of your pride.

Boy in a box

I will keep you safe and warm

save whatever is left after your violent storm.
