Disease

Blind with these tears I cry,
cateracts of sorrow,
over the loss aching inside
a soul forsaken and alone.

A heart of glass is shattered
by your gentle touch,
spilling forth crystalline blood
as the wound cracks deeper still.

Left inside a hollow shell,
a corpse rotting inside;
tormented as shadows chant your name,
a restless spirit cries.

The wind whistles now through ivory bones,
[the flesh chewed away by loss,]
lonliness, a fatal disease, consumes -
the infected driven into madness.

Author notes

How I am feeling now.

    This is such a great piece.
    I love how you compared loneliness
    to a disease. It is somthing that
    we all can do without in this life.
    Well done and congratulations to you
    on your Gold here!
