unfinished - 8/20/12 (yes, 2012)

.
the dawn will come one day
and bid the dark farewell
for from the black you prey
with finger nail red spells

you scratch but the surface
and you goad what's beneath
you question my heart's purpose
while you hold it in your teeth

your vein attempts to spare me
from what you made me see
haunts me in the life you left
because you wouldn't let me be

there is no heartache in dreams
i have nightmares when i'm awake
now that it's daylight it seems
all that's left is what she didn't take
.
