Forlorn is my destiny
Always seeking out
your kiss
You posioned me
with your presence
I spite my wretched heart
Beating within my breast
Eternal slumber
Death's final number
Surrendering my shattered wings
Guilt shall curse your heart
as you look upon
Her
Winter shall fall upon
your soul
Whilst they whisper
my name
A trance
A mist
Upon your eyes
Forever and a Day
Shall I
Haunt your conscience
Remnants of my broken heart
shall forever pierce your dreams...

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

and a painting i love enough to have on my wall.
