To the Lost Wild Rose

in poetry •  7 years ago 

My heart grows cold and dark, this pit I cannot take
Your light was all that kept the shadows away
My soul bleeds out as I am consumed by the black flames
Gone, O Gone My love is Gone today
And through the soul, the devil drives his stake
And now I see only his destiny as my own fate
I cry out into the abyss, but no one answers
I am lost to wander the outer darkness of my inward shame
Goodbye my love, forget my face and name
The hellfire I feel is not unbearable heat, but terrible cold
I feel the Ice licking my heart, silent, venomous agony
I shiver, I shiver, and O some God please deliver me!
I am so cold, so cold, this is the true devilry
I am so alone in this darkness, no light to find my way
My love, I wish to look into you one last time with empty eyes and say;
Today you were the last breath I drew,
And with my final exhale, my soul was lost for you
