&quot;Love is a lie; I trust hate.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The pain of having a broken heart is not so much as to kill you, yet not so little as to let you live.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You don&rsquo;t realize how much you care about someone until they don&rsquo;t care about you.&quot;


The shining darkness
Illuminates my shame
Again and again
Trespassing angels and
Cherished demons
Are warring inside me
One side a blinding, infuriating light
The other a calming embrace of darkness
Which side will gain control of my heart?
I think the darkness
Already has

I was inspired to write this after the girl I love told me there was no chance for us. (I'm a girl too, btw) It actually started out as a song inspired by the lyrics of Evanescence's songs, but I ended up using it for this.
