All Covet, All lose



Of all the words I had to paint

Ensnared with my heart pledge

She purged my happiness in a smirk

Devouring my sanity in a call of heaven

As she gave me a piece of her

In an elusion of a peace offering

Where she captured my soul.


Beckoned to surrender

She held my feet fixated in a render

Thrown into a dice of errands

Robbed of choice

She left my being in yearning

Pleading for a bite of haven

Yet tearing the walls of logic in insanity.


Curving reality into a ghost

Pants torn in broken promises

She rode high on me

& gave an appraisal to my brokenness

Skimming my mind to becoming a grime reapers friend

Yet wishing to rob an arrow & plunge it into her heart.


Tearing the canvas asunder

To reveal the inner truth bled by the fingertips

Feared by the words wishfully said in darkness

She robbed all of me

& left none of me to pick up the pieces

Which she shuttered with a half vow pledge to devour me.
