Grief
|
Tears burn scratches into my face
I've lit the flames and can only watch them burn
Through the pervading crimson which blurs my vision
Seeping slowly, fading fast
Your memory lingers, an ominous cloud
Bringing the darkness
Your name is bitter on my tongue
Yet I scream it still
A distraction from the cold
The mirror shards reflect my
Shattered self, a shadow on the wall
Constricting lungs spasm
Within grief's grip
You've stoned me with your words,
And beat me with your laugh,
Yet your beauty tied the noose
And left me swaying. for all to see
A warning for those in my wake
My grip on the blade weakens
I feel reality slip with the knife
And never hear it fall
Just the fading echo in the dark
