Resting Place

I live under dark lonely clouds Pregnant with acid rain Burn into my skin, every drop a blister I call out your name in whispers Become I a wraith that haunts its own house Floating through a labyrinth of memories made I wonder to seek your face in every crowd Retrace every step to cover the distance to here How am I that far gone? This world now an arid land All the roses I planted to adorn your feet Shriveled and dead like the hopes I carried Petals dry and scattered lie wasted Litter the paths once so familiar and hallowed With every breath I take Every desperate move of mine It becomes so clear to me This will last beyond the end of time Unmarked, unmourned I set myself on a forever pyre Burning in desires for you Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Blown away in warm winds Bidden adieu with a flying kiss From your lips
