Confessions of a Darkling

In shadows cast, a tormented soul I reveal the truth, my secrets untold Confessions of a darkling, stained and scarred A tale of lust, where demons spar Within these depths, my past resides I cannot hide, the darkness inside seen through my deceptive eyes. The sins I've committed, haunting my mind Confessions unfold, in verses unkind Of lust and rage I am guilty But these are just the few of many Lust, an insidious fire burning deep A hunger within, a soul's primal leap Eyes that wandered, desires unchained Fleeting pleasures sought, in shadows I remained Lies unending, my soul descending Tearing my flesh Asunder, the sirens are deafening In the sacred bonds of matrimony, I stand A devoted man, holding my lover's hand But in the shadows lurk desires untamed A battle within, where love and pleasure are maimed For she's a beacon, a light in my life Her love, a sanctuary in times of strife But in those darkest corners, a transformation starts A beast awakens, tearing me apart Confessions of a Darkling, tormented and torn Haunted by lust, my soul forlorn The sirens in my head, their voices so strong In this labyrinth of desire, I've struggled for too long Confessions of a Darkling, torn between two worlds My love for her, against desires that unfurl In the depths of longing, I lose myself completely Yearning for her touch, but driven by demons so beastly Confessions of a Darkling, I lay bare Lost in the abyss, drowning in despair Through the veils of darkness, I seek redemption In these confessions, a path to liberation In those forbidden corners, a temptress calls Whispering seduction, as darkness befalls I yearn for my wife, yet I'm lost in this haze A prisoner to lust's twisted maze The moments when shadows prevail A tempest of desire, a relentless gale Oh, the guilt that grips my heart, the shame I bear I know I must resist, for our love to repair But I'm fallen, with flaws that run deep Praying for strength, for these secrets no longer to keep Confessions of a Darkling, a soul divided in two One bound by love, the other seeking what's taboo In the depths of this struggle, I find solace in forgiveness embrace Holding on to redemption, by His grace Confessions of a darkling
