It would begin as a whisper,
softly breathing lonely words in my ear...

Crimson cascading
down...

I have so much yet to do;
this fantasy will come true...

Depleting beauty,
existing only for ridicule...

Intense tingling,
pain and pleasure coexist...

You've been out of my life for some time,
but a remnant of our love lingers...

Thorns puncture my heart;
violent feelings stab like a dart...

Thoughts connect us both;
knowing just what I should say...

I gaze into the mirror;
sanity begins to disappear...

Hush, little one soon the pain will end;
the suffering lingers and doesn't seem to bend...

Fear keeps me from sleep;
I fidget under the covers and weep...

Pools of sorrow fill my eyes,
one tear drop after another...
