Bittersweet Goodbye

By tinkdarkchyld

Ripped at the seams, broken sobs echo thru the empty years.
Forgotten world carried away on to many sleepless nights.
Too many memories shake me to my core, laughter and loss
locked in bitte battle. Sweet sustinance bred by the darkest bile.
Years bleed away in the time taken to wilt a rose, the blazing blue faded to gray. Rebelilous desires, yearning. Eyes burned by photos seared in my mind, happy moments forged into tales of terror. Blissful thoughts are always just a breath away, perfumed scent of forgetfulness wafting thru the night. Blowing hope for a better day farther away. My heart burns to beat, bleeds for warmth. My clothes are those of final repose burying me with my pain. No joy pure, my betrayal infesting all warm hearts devine touch. Mother. Betrayer of trusting youth, sly succubus you deceiver of virtue. velvet viper poisoning with gentle words and loving kisses. Mother. No longer safe harbour, candle no longer brite. My heart convels, my scream shatters the shell. Mother. Fallen idol from a fevered relm, forgotten phrase in a land of sugared tongues. Goodbye, nymph of my misspent youth. Goodbye, loving lie. Goodbye.
