Your absence is nothing
but a reminder
of your missing presence.

A little note telling me
that you're never coming back.
A soft whisper in my ear,
fingers running through my hair,
burning lips on cold skin--
meticulously painting the night sky
in colors unknown to man.

It would have been beautiful,
this thing we used to have.
Except it's now gone,
and all that's left
are bitter hearts and sad poems.

Your Heart is my Home.
Your Soul is my Shelter.

Your Will is my Way.
Your path, I would take.

I would follow you anywhere.
Become an extension of you.

I would follow you anywhere.
Your property, sold right from the start.

You could have owned me.

But it's not to be...
The deals gone and fallen through.

I've been reposessed, and left homeless.
This was farce right from the start!

My love you do not reciprocate.

Turns out I was a squatter all along.

Occupying a Building,
Left abandoned & decrepid.

Your betrayal
has frozen my heart.
Rock solid, encased within thee ice.

Preserved intact for now,
It seems.

But i'm skeptical to say the least.

What happens when the ice thaws?

And I am reduced to my lowly liquid form...

Your love has me infected
Your love is my disease

Intoxicated by thoughts of you.
Oh you how haunt me in my dreams.
Because, oh..

Your love is my addiction
Your love is my ketamine.

I guess I'm nothing but an addict.
Oh..

For your love I am a ******.
But high upon your love, my darling..
I would only Overdose, O.D.

Although, Cold turkey is no longer an option now, my Love.
I'm afraid, I've grown to rely on your support to breathe.

Because I just can't get enough of you my Girl.
I've chasing this buzz for weeks,

I just can't get enough of you my Girl.
Like ******, oh so sweet.

Frosted silver whisper
melt this shielded sore
enlighten my dormant soul
heal this stone once more
.
Reckless raw emotions
tasteless heat, empty mirrors
extinct frenzy, I dare,
dazzle me with your glare
.
Overwhelming moon
such a romantic delirium
alluring shooting stars I seek,
my voice to them wishes to speak.
.
The night lost the blues,
magic labyrinth lost the clues
royal keys were once stolen
enchanted tower got broken
.
Affectionate soul, my Amber Angel
the sharp flakes and memories
scattered they must be
through the silky roses once loved
close by our Enchanted Tree
