Necromancer's Folly

There is no loss, but to dream
A sickly sweet and bitter thing
The nightly luminescent tease
made of promises; broken, these

There is no joy, but to wake
and give chance to partake
in thoughts whispered to my ear
when at night, I dreamt, my dear

There is no sorrow but to know
That consequence will never show
My work is nothing but a fool's dream
And death is permanent as it seems
