The Mourning
she lies naked in the ashes of a love affair
burning her memories
waiting for the numb
or the madness
she welcomes either
and prays for both
haunted by his echo
his essence
his every word
devouring her sanity
his ghost possesses her
guiding her han6ds
arousing old desires
too stubborn to die
too beautiful to forget
