Ruined Heart
You haunt my soul
and left a hole
to foster death
within my chest.
Why came I to love you so?
you became my obsession
and my heart's suppression.
Ne'er again love's seeds I'll sow
for you became a rotten crow tree within my heart
whose unremovable rotted roots became my cark.
A corpse herein lies
who buries your lies
with which was caved in
by the weight of your sin.
His failed attempts to hate
the slaver causing craze
of his mind, the poor slave.
