Try as I might
You're still in my
Thoughts
Rattling like chains
I'm chained

To your voice
Your words

They're poison
Acid
I should know
By now
But I'm placid
Putty, pliable

To your song

We're dancing
In the starlight
It's hindsight
Your gravity

Holds me hostage

You're an imposter
You are the wolf
Hidden
In soft fleece

Torn to pieces
You tear
Into me

All my pieces
Scattered
To the sea

Brackish
The salt
Decays me

I'm fading
I'm always
Fading

Some day
I'll burn out
Like a star

Exploding
Explosions in my mind

I'm resigned
To sputter
And die

I'm fading
I'm always
Fading

My light
Burns out

We were destined
You and I
