You are the black moon calling
The impendence of night
Darkness uncompromising
I have seen your blood-torn rage
The way it desecrates
The holiness within
*
You were a man once
But longing has left
You derelict
Fastened by grief
I have seen her eyes
Reflected in your hysteria
*
You hold me
In the place of love
And beneath you
I am unmade
Recast in her image
But never the same
Barely even a reprieve
In your malaise
*
We will never be wed
Except through pain
Every night
I catch you
At the window
Haunted by what if
*
She waits
In your shadow
Seeking forgiveness
Yet you do not absolve
No matter the casualties
I know that
She will remain
Between worlds
Imprisoned
And I, in her semblance
Mortally bound
*
We suffer the avarice
Of your half lives
Draped in shadows
I know that you will
Wait indefinitely
