Dire

By Crysa

Silken threads
ripped apart,
dangling carelessly
from my heart.

Stitches wrenched
from my flesh,
old wounds
still fresh.

Profound memories,
a tender kiss,
moments I'm damned
to reminisce.

Violent surges,
unspeakable pain,
confusion's captive
struggle is vain.

Bound tightly
by remorse,
silently screaming
myself hoarse.

My hearts carcass
withering away.
Collapsing inward,
depreciated clay.

Chronic impairment,
deliriously sane.
Deranged chivalry
myself to blame.

Demoralized clarity,
forsaken desires,
sadistic salvation,
the conclusion, dire.

    nice rhythm and rhyme, it flowed well in and out of the imagery in almost a legato then snap staccato beat. very cool. Thank you.
