Powerful and raw, grief brands my psyche
Indelibly tempered by agony.
Sublime almost, in its intensity
All focus fades, save for the ssss-scraped knee.
Dark doubts, crippling lies swarm like buzzing bees
Self-recriminations breed rampantly
Rabid ‘What ifs’ unleash a litany
Love found, and lost, exacts a brutal fee.
Silenced are the songs that beguile and bind
Promises lie withered, dead on the vine.
Betrayal blights the peach glow of sunshine,
Our paths diverge, souls never to entwine.
Trapped in a void, on acrid ghosts I dine,
Misery is all I seek now, and find.
