Hours of Twilight

Upon me, midnight has set in.
I'm so tired of this path, ever 
leading, despair being engulfed.
All I give, all unrequited , 
Loneliness I live.
Within myself, the coming on
Of confusion, ever present.
Hours at the twilight, 
On top of my head.
Circling vultures, crows, 
My eyes hath blinded my 
senses,
Non so uncommon, abhorrent
Visions, fleeting thoughts my 
own,
Away from me, taken and 
inside
Stolen love, found not ever, 
Not to be amidst 
Darkness, an old friend I shun.
Beats at the hearts doorway.
A key lost, lost forever 
With a absent door.
Entry or exit, options not there. 
Will-O'- the -wisp, entrance to
A labyrinth, which never
Begins or shall not end.
My heart, tucked away,
Where only angels
Can ever say that it was,
I did once.
Betrayed by self absorption,
Passing swollen,
Of my being those thoughts. 
Lies of love, contradictions 
among,
Of long lost deceptions
Of past.
Taken by you, 
Not given upon to,
Thief of my soul.
Inside by chance, to you 
Never opened, no invitation 
given,
No quarter asked or received  
of.
At my misery, your smirking 
delight,
Wind chasing futile yens
Of caring you lack,
The way becomes inchoate of
What you were born
To do not.
Not to love, caring in that lie.
