Sweeping in the dark

Darling
I’m so sorry
To keep
From you the
Nature of
The blades
That flicked
The flames
That licked
The beasts
That hate.

Darling
I’m so sorry
To hide
Within the
Feelings that
The words
That shamed
The fear
That claimed
The light
It ate.

Darling
I’m so sorry
To say
(but) Not aloud
In the pit
The voice
That screams
The end
Of dreams
The beating down
Of fate.

My darling
I’m so sorry
That
You love
Me but
I make
You spend
Your days
Sweeping
In
The
Dark
