When Madness Comes

This madness you bestowed upon me where night becomes day and day night between setting suns and silver moonlight where you used your love to find comfort with fervor to keep your cold heart warm when you tightly held my wanton desires in your spider's web woven by your fiery inviting eyes of sensuality that pierced my soul and gave birth to all my passions leaving me a dry empty husk of withering decay seeking death as death will be my pardon to free me from your tangled webs and lies Could that my heart dispel all such things as I wait for the final outcome where the skeletal Charon appears to carry my heart down the river Styx screaming as it disappears in the fog of betrayal that surrounds the faintest breath from love lingering in my heart's memory as it boards Charon's boat to leave my soul on the empty banks of this river alone with all my illusions as it's ferried to its death from your deception 12/28/20
