illicit ink

By GoldenLotus

illicit ink draws from my pen
feelings from my soul
if only you could read me
my eyes would tell you all
my thoughts speak, without a word
screaming silently through breaths
a whisper is heard

illicit ink pours down my cheek
carrying with it oblivions sorrow
taking every memory of every moment with you
soon to dry away, forever left...the stain
