Lament

My heart breaks
like delicate porcelain,
as I grief for someone
who is still alive.

Facade

You are just a fiend,
masquerading
as an angel.

And I am a Saint,
who is being mistaken
for the devil.

Looks can be deceiving…

Epilogue

Remember me fondly,
or not at all.

Strange how fleeting a romance can be.

Forlorn

Loneliness clings to my gaunt frame,
like an invisible mourning veil
that threatens to smother me
in my slumber.

I am afraid to close my eyes.

Embosom

Apart from the isolated confines of my own mind,
the warm comfort of your embrace
is the safest place I know.

My thoughts are still my own.

Fragrance

Your scent lingers
on my pale skin,
and when I inhale
I do not feel the
suffocating weight
of solitude.

Herzeleid

Indescribable
is the woe I felt
at witnessing the
cruel aftermath
of heartbreak,
and struggling
to mend it.

Now it's your turn to mend me.
