In the depths of night where shadows breathe, A phantom glimmers beneath the eaves, She dances in whispers, a haunting refrain, A beauty untouched by the clutches of pain. Her laughter spills like twilight's sigh, Echoes of dreams that flicker and die, A visage so pure, like a moonbeam's glow, Yet forever anchored in realms I cannot know. I trace her silhouette with trembling despair, Every glance a dagger, every thought a snare, In the labyrinth of longing, I roam through the dark, Chasing her essence, a flickering spark. For I am but dust in the cosmic expanse, A wretched soul caught in a cursed romance, I weave through the haze of the nights unkind, Bound to the fate of a heart intertwined. Her grace, a tempest that I cannot tame, An unyielding force wrapped in mysterious flame, Yet each fleeting glance pierces deeper still, An echoing silence, a rapture to kill. I pen silent odes in the shadows of night, To a goddess of dreams, a vision of light, Yet the ink is my sorrow, the parchment my dread, For the fate of the moth is to flutter and shred. Draw me closer, sweet specter, this agony's kiss, A cruel reminder of moments I miss, As stars watch with pity from heavens so far, I trace my existence, a narrative scar. In the realm of the hopeless where fantasies bleed, A heart beats in rhythm to a somber creed, "To want her is magic, to love her is pain, For the heart knows no mercy, and the spirit is slain." I whisper her name to the whispering winds, Yet the echoes return with the weight of my sins, A darkness envelops, a curse to embrace, For nothing can bridge this unfathomable space. In obsidian nights where the shadows conspire, I wander the void, igniting the fire, An endless devotion, a spiral of light, Yet lost in this spiral, an exquisite plight. A longing unyielding, a black velvet hole, Drawing me deeper, devouring my soul, For she is the dream, and I am the dust, A love ever fading, a passion unjust. So I dwell in the silence where darkness resides, In the echoes of stardust, where hope softly hides, A tale of obsession, a love never found, In the vastness of nothing, where shadows abound. And still, I shall love her, though fated to roam, For within the abyss, I have crafted my home, In the dance of the lost, in the haunting refrain, I keep her forever, through myriad pain.

To Love/To Loss
In the depths of night where shadows breathe, A phantom glimmers beneath the eaves, She dances in whispers, a haunting refrain, A beauty untouched by the clutches of pain. Her laughter spills like twilight's sigh, Echoes of dreams that flicker and die, A visage so pure, like a moonbeam's glow, Yet forever anchored in realms I cannot know. I trace her silhouette with trembling despair, Every glance a dagger, every thought a snare, In the labyrinth of longing, I roam through the dark, Chasing her essence, a flickering spark. For I am but dust in the cosmic expanse, A wretched soul caught in a cursed romance, I weave through the haze of the nights unkind, Bound to the fate of a heart intertwined. Her grace, a tempest that I cannot tame, An unyielding force wrapped in mysterious flame, Yet each fleeting glance pierces deeper still, An echoing silence, a rapture to kill. I pen silent odes in the shadows of night, To a goddess of dreams, a vision of light, Yet the ink is my sorrow, the parchment my dread, For the fate of the moth is to flutter and shred.
