In your wake.                 I'm dead and gone.                 You left My love in ruins. Choices born in silence, Old schemes replaced With new ones. I'd ask if you were happy now. But you'd never reply. Even if you answered me — I'd only hear a lie. I thought I loved a lioness, Brave and true in word. You turned an honest love to ash, My fate was undeserved. Now within my hollow chest, Lies coiled a rattlesnake. Only fit to hurt and spit, A poisonous mistake. The victim to your cruel heart,                    I wish for some reprieve.                    I dream beyond this ugly place — Though I can never leave.
