Sep 2013
So I said goodbye to what was left
Of what I'd held onto,
of her silhouette
As it stared back I fell bereft;
Its unblinking eyes
followed me to my Death
Perpetually lost in the wake of my drift
I found the things I had buried were what I had kept
My Beatrice showed me a Heaven,
I can never recreate
Whether in the beauty, or the life beyond,
My most horrific nightmares
Of what I'd held onto,
of her silhouette
As it stared back I fell bereft;
Its unblinking eyes
followed me to my Death
Perpetually lost in the wake of my drift
I found the things I had buried were what I had kept
My Beatrice showed me a Heaven,
I can never recreate
Whether in the beauty, or the life beyond,
My most horrific nightmares
"Super obvious Dante's Divine Comedy/ Inferno inspiration. I woke up one night and the words flowed directly from mind to pen. Where are you when I need you muse?"
