contest- Abandon

sponsor Constance La France

The dark road of misery
led me to a more abhorrent realm of existence
when I succumbed to your disguise
before you abandoned my heart
in your pleasured dungeon of dreariness
where your veins flowed with emotionless blood
as you spoke your final words, cold, calculating
that fell upon my ears like a winter's rain
this landscape of illusion has become barren
where lips once pressed the flesh of our desires
    to claim my soul...now
has turned to vile contempt
for the lifeless bouquets from a garden of promises
I feel the sting of poison pump through each heartbeat
as I wander in a lonely black silence
    towards a Bastone of bitter bile
where my heart awaits its fate
of cupped hands clinging to my face like talons
    as I crumble to my knees...abandon
in a dark and desolate sob-filled tomorrow

So beautiful.. and the musical background set the perfect mood for me to descend into melancholy decadence.. perfection!
