It would begin as a whisper,
softly breathing lonely words in my ear...

Crimson cascading
down...

I have so much yet to do;
this fantasy will come true...

Depleting beauty,
existing only for ridicule...

Intense tingling,
pain and pleasure coexist...

Pools of sorrow fill my eyes,
one tear drop after another...

You've been out of my life for some time,
but a remnant of our love lingers...

I gaze into the mirror;
sanity begins to disappear...

Thoughts connect us both;
knowing just what I should say...

Fear keeps me from sleep;
I fidget under the covers and weep...

Hush, little one soon the pain will end;
the suffering lingers and doesn't seem to bend...

Thorns puncture my heart;
violent feelings stab like a dart...
