Belladonna

I see you in my dreams An unravelled seam, A faded place, Struggling to resurface, An irrefutable alteration in my life's plan, Branded and irrevocable throughout my lifespan Leaving tear-stained cheekbones And whispered tones Depthless emptiness in my trembling heart Trails of scar tissue as you depart Stilling the voices in my melancholic mind, Memory I see has truly been unkind For here you were and here you are not My heart and my soul remains besot As I glide through the mires and murky without care, Your cruelty has erased my concept of fear, There is no life in these arms to reach forth, No craving or wanting to be sought, If there is a thing to cure what is ailing me, Darkness dictates that even that will fail me.
