Phantom Pain

love gets lost and a memory is gained tear drops flood my desolate dreams like a beautiful dove she spreads her wings and flys away i'm drenched and drowniing in phantom pain like a severed limb from a toxic tree bearing poisoned fruit of misery and her grapes of wrath leave me drunk and diseased my blood flows red in phantom pain there's a knock on my door but she's not there there a tap on my window...she is everywhere better look before i leap better stop and beware i stare into the night and she's out there... somewhere in the stars,on the moon,in the clouds... she's a single drop of rain the thirst never gets quenched... i wither away in phantom pain anthony_beesley@yahoo.com
