Wraith

today destroyed my yesterday,

moment by moment,

forced to kiss the knife that cuts

I forever bleed regret.

 

the promised touch that never comes

the strangled heart struggles

the kiss never forgets,

as the knife never forgives.

 

a silent scream falls from my tired lips

as if underwater, breathless

enduring shapelessness

bowing to agony, defeat.

 

with all the wasted thoughts,

ripped from useless dreams

all that's left, all that's whole

bereft of hope, loss is all.
