DOLOROUS

DOLOROUS

Lashes curl
Cast a spell
Eyes, black pearls
Snap their Shells
A Judas kiss
Lays on your lips
A metal ring
Pierced in Hell
A twilight orchid
Bleeds in grey
Across your heart
A wounded Ache
Sorrow, Grief, Misery, 
Chain
Wrap your wrists
In poison stain
Remorse, Regret
Roses laced
Across your back
Will never fade
Below your waist
Passion, Pain
Burns
A melancholy flame



Dolorous
/'dol?r?s / dollar-us / adjective / feeling or expressing great sorrow or distress.
