My Lover Bleeds

Shadow of a Memory
Haunting me at night
Love falls,
Crashes, shoots downstream,
Declining through a rocky path,
Snatching my heart astray,
I howl beyond a rational thought,
At the void, gaze endlessly,
Pretend I’m in a different place,
A warm place next to you,
A different you that treats me right,
Without unintentional thorns,
Pricking me in my sleep,
Terrifying me when I wake,
Because you changed!
Why did you change?
Now, nothing is left of us,
But lament,
Along with the destruction you reaped,
So don’t wake me when I sleep,
Since I’ll be gone,
Happily
