He's coming

After you

I am swallowed

As darkness engulfs

All thoughts

I once had

Of you

Forever I will remain

Away at your will

Because I am stricken

By guilt derived

From loving you

Fade away

Fall asleep

Smile as the boys speak

Of possession of you

I know you know

Your worth

To an extent

To the end

I never

Will find myself

Loving you

Again

This is guilt

I will never hurt someone

I once loved

In this way again

I will not steal

Your wealth from

You

For your worth is

Far too valuable

Yet broken

For my interest

Guilty

I take my stand

And my leave

Proud to finally

Have accepted

Shattered fate of

You

Rewind the tapes of time

Sometimes you might

Cross my mind

But overall it has

Since faded

As it was only

Fantasy

I fell for

Never your true

Embodiment

Of what failed

To be

In front of

Me.
