Goodbye to romance

Dear Reader caution you these words. This prose, this rambling of a darker kind may disturb your musings. For it is written in the view of a deranged mind. In the perspective of a killer who knows only the depravity that swirls inside the decadence of warped sensibilities. So go yee forth with armor to fortify thy soul, to protect thy innocence. Or if thine truly desire the ugly rapture of the shadows of our world then proceed to thine unpleasantry openly. -

Deep breaths of you breathed in, sweet coppery smells, filling me up, with a dream I took away

I keep visions, of last desperate looks, of love spilling out in claret, of light fading from eyes, locked inside of me

Seems like forever now, I left you lying, in pools of life, flowing across a floor, where we held so tightly, to the idea of us

There are too many ghosts, skeletons dancing from graves, to bury them inside the closets of what I've done

Replace me, replace my bloody hands, erase your red heart from my skin, take back the baptism, I bathed you in

Ambulances sing their siren songs, melodies of love, inside a symphony of midnight, playing just for you

Counting the uniforms, scurrying behind yellow tape, I contemplate how they captured the beast

Time is a silly friend my love, haunting me in the trap you set, inside your last goodbye, my escape lost in amber flashes of blue

I promise you, my fallen angel, my beautiful distraction, even though your revenge is wrapped around my wrists, I will never let you go

Our affair will live on, for always and always, forever captured in crimson memories of you, to wash over me

Now, the only thing I have left, is a hope to see your heavenly shape outlined under a sheet of white, before they finally take me away
