Through hissing speak
Corrupting love
And when I rend it pulls me inward
I waste away to feel this
And when I slip
By then you’ll know it
Feel my dispassion gnaw
As my heart rots
As remorse stirs
Withered self worth
Turns like the leaves in a summer’s torch
Leave me to dream extinguished
And when I wake I’ll be forgotten
The moon shies
In severance
The trees sway to the wind that bends them
With one last bitter cry
Smother my dimming light
The chance
To submit
Without struggle or care
Feel my dispassion gnaw
As my heart rots
