Forever
I am empty of tears
nor will welcome again
my wounded wonderings each night
up the staircase to my despair
drunk on the elixir of my pain
love ended
and we will go with it
when I stare down the curved handrail
of timeless eternity
naked, alone...covered in blood
by my hand's work
blood dripping
from the blade of insanity
plunged into your frozen heart
where you'll sleep...forever
as I
throw my worn-out body
down the stairs of death
into endless black
freed from the painful emptiness
you claimed each night
when I climbed the staircase
like a slave
to the tortured duty of worthless love
filled with hate-filled disgust
that has taken...both our lives
