The Closet

Grief continuing, clouds descending

Your will to die. Fettered by life.

Veins swell with pious blood, light shines through cracks in leaves

Sylvan branches rustle softly when the nascent night breathes.

A tortuous path carved by rows of lilacs, what excites their pale dead hue

The rose hangs her head in rue.

A harrowing night in May, the 23rd day of whispering rain

Cascade over foreboding thoughts and drown these smiles that express disdain.

He trembled as he sighed,

His memory effaced by frames of death and lies.

His life viewed from afar,

His wrists carried a myriad of fucking scars.

Rosemary evergreen and safe hangs 'round the asylum of my throat.

In remembrance of his breath filched by a tousled, hanging rope.

Four walls became your empty coffin

In a reclusive grave built by the sea.

Sixteen tears have caressed my cheek

A lone anemone, you've abandoned me.

Door creaks open

Your corpse is found.

Death begins

Sorrow abounds.
