---

nymphrenia:

after all the time I've wasted

I see you resting in the hospital bed

day after day, night after night

days turned to months

how come you've forgot my name?

all I have left are these memories

of how you stared right through my soul

memories burn bright

with the embers

and I've burned all the photographs

I only watched while you slipped away

shroud of blight:

I confide in my thoughts

in the nothingness I've embraced

sorrow cradles me tighter

as I cry in the heart of the night

a noose made of despair

comforts my neck

as the weight presses deeper

into my skin

lacerating my flesh

a casket of glass

a mirage beyond this life

this horizon draws you closer

and I am standing behind

a one sided mirror

I can see you

but you see right through me...
