Such a sad sad tale of woe,
the story of the wood nymph Echo.
Cast aside with never a care,
her sobs reverberate through the air.

Warning the forest of her sorrow,
no fanfares did she need to borrow,
far and farther her tears did go,
fading and fading, just like Echo.

Echo is the Nymph spurned by Narcissus
when he fell in love with his own reflection.
Always felt sorry for her :)

Pour yourself over me
let your molten lava flow
Melt me down to my core
Drown me in your heat
Make me want more
Once our passions unite
embers burn through the night
Make it worth more than pleasures afford
Scorching soul, connected like a cord
The fire lites, making flesh ignite
burns so good it puts the wrong in right

you called me beautiful
but once you grew to know me
you were quick to tell me
that i was not

and that says more
about you
than it does
about my beauty

Casting waves of pure lore
To line the yielding lips
A heart of splinters like the crown of thorn
Chasing the shade of an eclipse

Shirt drawn open, pulling smoke
Staggered to the racing strait
Tilted head as he spoke
Prose of prayer to the landscape

Pleading to follow the saints
Plunging to kneel like a ribbon to gravity
Make him in canvass and paint
Trace him in the chasm of apathy

As the horizon peaks and pales
He's dizzy with indigo fumes
Abides home by the formidable trail
And cursing the mirthless tune
I don't think I've ever wrote a poem with a rhyme scheme. I usually hate them. But this just kind of flowed out and each line lent itself to the next. Thanks for reading.
