Ivy's Lament
'Round and round in endless pain
This silence falls like deadly rain
Turn about and turn again
"I love you now... I loved you? When?"
The chaos breeds a bleeding chain
Of doubt, regret and anger's stain
A hollow promise, oozing rot
"I want you now! I want you? What?"
Twist and spin, the wheel of flame
Engulfed in passion, mortals' game
White-hot, burning, then the spark
Smothers, dies and all goes dark
An empty coal with hollow eyes
All dressed up in pretty lies.
