Flavia

A cold decrepit heart

That was abandoned eons ago

Guilded with unspeakable torment

Gushes out thick blood again, yet unreserved.

 

The silhoutte of her long flowing dark hair

Unlocked my inner most guarded labyrinth

She effortlessly absolved my darkest sins,

with her smile alone.

 

With what authority does she command thee?

Unbeknowst to her own eyes she has captured my heart & soul

A soul once eviscerated into the ashes of damnation.

 

Alas, Cupid's arrow missed its target

His aim unequaled in the universe

But even the greatest show signs of fatigue

Fate assigned me this unbearable cruelty,

as I slither back into thy dreaded abyss.
