Broken Amnesia

Like a leprechaun Chasing rainbows Looking for your pot of Gold Knowing in your heart that you will never acquire it But, refusing to admit defeat to yourself All the while killing the one who remains true Stagnant heart Dancing with ghosts of the past Living in the cemetery of broken ideations Worshipping her corpse Your soul roams the eerie night trying to recapture what has been extinguished long ago Blackness surrounds you Unable to discern the truth Discarding the sunset, waiting for your crescent moon, ending up in darkness again No birth of bliss when you reminisce Sinking deeper into madness with every memory But, still unable to say goodbye to the dream of loving her Drowning in this castle of tears Bathing in the blood of your betrayal Drinking bitter wine from the chalice that bore fruition of our bond that was cracked by the iron maiden that is wearing you down, yet still I thirst for what is being denied to me Upon a moonlit star I wish That clouds of amnesia would erase her completely from your mind before your obsessive desires suffocate us both Start anew with the oxygen I breathe into your dying lungs so that you may be free of the reservoir that cannot be resurrected © 2008 Courtney Dyer
