My Beloved

Bullets echo close to my heart

      Reverberating a wave of trauma

It breaks my soul into a thousand shards


My love! I yearn for your breath

And, wish to keep it close--Lest 

I lose you again,

               Once more.


Your cold body drifts away

       Far from the hapless shore

       Far from my wretched hope

 I once held so close


Your blood still stained my hand

           No matter, how fast I ran--

Your ghost haunted my dreams, my reality

         Warped it into a spectral entity.
