Cannot
My dry mouth,
cured with only blood,
closes in your presence.
My former self,
sensitive and pretty,
I’ve realized to be weak.
Your arrogant smile
is still haunting like a siren,
singing her lullaby from which
I cannot wake.
I cannot breathe.
I cannot be…
Our lovely story
turns to a gruesome novel,
for the gore seemed befitting.
Your pontification
fell on secular ears,
mine, which
Cannot hear.
Cannot see.
Cannot be…
My macabre style
ruins your faux façade,
your flirtatious torture,
Which cannot tempt,
Which cannot tease,
Which cannot be…
The same.
