Blackness

In a fitful fight I spent the night

All my dreams stolen

Another day come, all is done

Body tired, thoughts bruised and swollen

Kidnapped and bound, helpless found

At your mercy in every way

My sacrificial soul has paid the toll

Only now to be thrown away

In the depths of this hell there is a well

From which ink is drawn

On memory’s wall delusions I scrawl

Now that you are gone

The tears I cry make this dye

From your image eternal

Without love, no heaven above

Immortality’s infernal

Raging out of control my bleeding soul

Tears loose the blemished page

But there’s nothing I can do, the memory has bled through

I’m tattooed with your image

For this there’s no aid, the dye won’t fade

I can’t erase you from my mind

It’s bittersweet stain does remain

No antidote can I find

As an attempt the venom to vent

This poem was written

But loves illusion has no solution

When ones heart is smitten
