Sorrow's Child

Your love was my morning song

‘twas the birds that sang

You sang to me

I loved your song

Swayed to rise and fall

Of your chest, your heart-

Locked in that cream-coated

Ever-warm, unbridled chest

Your love left a spatter on the walls of my soul

Your love rose from the depths of your existence

It became my sustenance.

I fed off you

That was then

Now without

Your love, left a spatter on my face,

A horror frozen in place

Your love claimed what was hers

I am hers

She claimed my limbs

One by one

How they tremble in the shadow

Of your memory

Your love corrupted my heart, my mind

Skips back to the time that was

When I was yours

Your beautiful eyes

Still look at the world through mine

I see what you would have seen

What you would have liked

You would have liked me

Perhaps noticed me

No one else did.

Now without you

I slink back to the shadows

The darkness that claimed you

Knows me by my first name

Your love…

Is my mourning song
