Deathly Callings

Every step I take closer,
a step too far, I know.
Each step,
a death sentence,
each stop,
claws at my soul.

The call, your voice, alluring.
That call -whimpers in my core.
That step, that I continue taking,
that step, defies my goal.

Broken shards, slice me,
the glass too cut in deep.

A prey to your siren,
these steps, I do not,
-ever want to be.

Every step I take closer
a step, I stray from home.
Each step,
Noose-filled,

each stop,
pu-nishment;

wrapping up my soul...

Another dark themed delight? I try very hard to write 'light'; but it seems 'dark' is my calling. What do you think?
