[bodytext] => As I was walking briskly through the mist, I passed Shynes cloacked in moonlight's white gown. Yet as Actaeon she took my by the wrist, Hauling hard she held me back and slowed me down. Hatred soon descended without a sound- Whose scornful haze blinded bloodshot eyes, Stumbling was I wrestled to the ground, My wounded body came as no suprise- A pain deserved for attention's lies. Now trudging slowly through the heavy rain, Self-pity clambered upon my back And in search of love did cause to feign Some crippl'd illness of emotions black. Numbing Meloncholy has my heart tracked And consumed my shallow mind with woe, Laying bare my frame upon the rack. Yet I myslef remain my darkest foe, Dragged down my demons hounding in tow. Now I'm crawling limply Lethe-wards, As immortal burdens supress my mind And waves of worry arrive in hoards And my pale throat their fingers find And seep through helples mouth and wind Through gasping lungs to steal my breath. Relieved as I drink Her water's kind- Love's life long dream has led to death.
