Fade To Black

It amazes me how easily the heart is broken
Torn apart by a single word spoken
Blackened by a single mistake made
It goes unnoticed as the soul begins to fade

Twisted and torn as the lies sink in
Words become cold and soaked with sin
Actions based on evil intent
A heart once pure, distant and violent

Bringing down anyone who gets in its way
Once its corrupted, forever it'll stay
The evil permanently attached to the soul within
Pure horror held beneath the skin

Innocence struck down without a second thought
Leaving its prey to suffer and rot
A heart broken and tainted by darkness
A soul that no longer knows mercy nor happiness
