Untitled

The castle I torment
Interred by the foundations of my mind
Lay fractured
Decaying, bedeviled with rot
Haunted of all that was and was not
Midnights spectre incessantly disturbed
Echoes from chambers
Long since deserted
Burn with grief’s operatic pyre
Between daisies, hemlock and forget me nots
Ethereal vines, suffocate the cage
My monstrous heart lay
Cursed its shadows phantom
Wraith servitude to this narrative
Longing for escape
Soul rattling deaths chains
Stone fortress my tomb
A ghost to memories
Missing, reminiscing
Trapped within time
And love’s final resting place
There is no peace
