Memory of Love
to be true to you
all I wanted to do
be your calm in storms
feathers as you soared
memories of more
memories of horror
ripple a teardrop
crimson covers it all
all I know is rage and pain
pours through clenched teeth
the planet took you from me
and I wanted them to feel
the same thing I felt — misery
darkness and anguish
I became something abnormal
a freak of poetry — poetess they label me
and I turned around — eyes widen in disbelief
the world behind me burning
people in flames screaming/crying
welts levee to drip with a splash
as I crumble to my knees in ash
I did this
I did this
too late to go back
I will make this right
villainous hero of the nighttime
