Desire, and guilt (rewrite of lost without you)

Fighting consuming darkness
Constantly dwelling on ones mind
Shattered dreams arise, favoured covered lies.

Tear sparkled river formed
Essence of grief, drawn water
Flowed lingering thoughts to rest.

Vessel hoped, passageways collided
Many paths to one, linked truth
Image flickered thoughts remained.

Distant memory coated wall
Drenched, blood stained rose scattered ground
Smeared with, bare light footsteps.

Sweated palmed hands, leaked out fear
Breath, tangled rusted choked within
Eyes drained, tears vanquished overruled.

Nearer footsteps draw, sounded pounded echoes
Your touch scorched, burnt skin flutters unbearable air
Wrenched in your scent, the man killer substance.

Flirted comment pasted, game begun
Gentle kiss, a lie forced upon a soul
A rush of guilt and lust combined shame.

Memory faded, cleared mind, flushed
Extinguished-smoke, poison spilt out cloud
Emptiness, filled new thought, corrodes.
