Can't Let Go
Midnight is a twisted serpent
of memories of love and
the pain of its death.
She reaches out to hold
onto the knife of rejection
that does cut her down again.
Licking her wounds
she vows to never look
at the fire of her desire.
Moments later only
to taste its sweet poison.
Agony is burned into her bones.
Rising from the ashes
she commits her soul.
To tell him once more.
I love you.
