Death Defying

All I have are words to wipe the wakeful wounds away All that comes are tears to keep them for another day Love’s lachrymal layers that fuel the foliaceous fires Ignominious increments of solitudes sufficely seclude While drenching in dreams of the barbarous brood Lamenting lucidly lost in dimly dismantled desires Watched by the watchers of lasting lingering liars A sacrificial sage of the slaved selfless subdued Blindly bedraggled Secretly sadly sustained Within vile vindictive veils An emotive etch Negatively neglected I’m a loving lachrymose.
