SICKNESS
I watched my confused shadow dance on the wall,
As my heart saw its sanity drift away.
I sat and wondered how much further to fall,
As my Lover told me she wanted to, but could not stay.

I felt her tears roll down my face,
As she kissed me, one last time.
My heart felt lost, with no safe place,
As I witnessed another cruel, futile crime.

I tasted the bitterness of invisible thieves,
As they once again pulled our souls apart.
I could taste my pain returning,
The pain of a burnt, lonely heart.

I smelled an uncomfortable silence,
As my mind slowly shut itself down.
I could smell the return of my inner violence,
As it forced my face to frown.

I heard how her soul cried out for me,
As mine tried desperately to hold on.
I heard a voice ask; Why do I let this be?
As I tried to answer, she was already gone.
