I only wanted peace
and a deadly silence
to enjoy my pain
without you here
wrapped up in these twisted
vines, sucking out my essence
I'd be better off
lying in a bed of spikes
nothing can palliate
this infinite pain
but your presence
is too damn virulent
when I close my eyes
all I see is a boulevard
of our old memories
that burn like new scars
etched in my heart is you
consuming me from the inside out
teasing me with false promises
thus I shall never be unbound
the stars spell out your name
the birds sing your song
the lakes reflect your image
my heart longs for yours
