You were a vibrant hope,

Dancing inside my mind.

My heart embraced you.

We danced together.

You faltered,

As I tripped over you.

Each step broke me,

And as I mended,

Your presence fell me,

My forest to your fire.

You consumed, over and again,

Burning my world to ash.

I am destroyed.

It was not enough, you see,

That you turned me to dust.
You first bound me, held me firm,

In chains I could not escape.

You trapped me,

Cornered me, an animal to be devoured.

I fought to claw my way out,

Only to find you holding me fast.

These bonds constrict me.

I cannot escape.

I wish to bury you.

To see the death of you

Decay into bones.

Flesh melting away to leave

Only the ivory of what remains.

To witness the dissolution of you

As you fade into the acid of soil

That breaks into its dissociative parts.

To be no more.

To watch you destroyed

As you have devastated me.

But I hold this close.

The aurora of my thoughts,

Blossoming into the dark flowers

Of your decayed body

That I cannot release.

You are constant

And I realize that you are nothing more

Then a craving I am bound to.

This hope is dead,

But lives in the meat of your rotten flesh.

It is the death of hope

That I cannot release.

You are ever with me.

Oh that we could be buried as one,

Lost to the soil to be broken down,

You, my lover, who only exists in my dreams.
