Never To Forget

I’d like to turn you in
Point you out
Trick you
You, who evaded me
In my nightly dreams
Like sweat stuck against my skin
Clinging to my skull
Grab ferociously
And would not let me go

You too, dear
Are a haunting devil
That my guts, my desire says “pursue”
You are a beauty, my nemesis
And my downfall
Let them catch you
Weigh and indict in the name of justice

And if they take you
I will still love you
Enamored
Blinded by your apparition
Never forget you
Nor your vision
Though you deserved
All in agony
