Love Forsaken; Life Forgotten

Forsaken in life and left here to rot
Alone in this dark death ridden forest,
Crying in the pain; she loves me not
With these thorns in my eyes I cannot rest.

Running in frantic desperation,
Tears flowing, falling, flying
Monsters surround me – a hallucination?
Yet as they stab and slash I feel I’m dying.

The claws bite through my flesh,
The jaws rip through my bones
As a chainsaw would a mesh,
How did I survive the stones?

Stumbling into bright cold clearing
Pause in amazement at the nightmares disappearing
A lonely raven takes off in flight
His shallow harsh barking echoes into the black night.

As moonlight sinks behind dark clouds
The creatures of death appear from the shroud
Fly at me in murderous glee
Shatter my bones as they break me

White light returns to illuminate the scene
Dark blood on pale grass seems to gleam
I look and cry to the stars and scream
They smile, sparkling in their glittering sheen.

Death comes creeping from all sides
I can hear his hollow footsteps
And how his breathing resides
Within my torment and regrets.

With a fell sweeping slash
My soul is ripped from its home
And downward does dash
Towards the dark throne

More pain awaits me;
Anguish and despair
As the lights revoke me
Without a care

No one will fight tears;
No one will cry
None will have fears
On this day that I die
Forever a footnote
Long ignored and forgotten
As my bones turn to ashes
As my heart slowly turns rotten.

Forsaken by life and left here to die
Laughed at by the stars’ bright fires
Crying in sorrow; she can already fly
And doesn’t notice as the moon turns my pyre
