Unicorn

[painter not a poet]

Every breath and lyric sang
a memory that speaks your name
wandering, wrenching, lost infatuation
you took his body but stole my heart

We let you in and you shared our bed
elated, joy, swirled anticipation
but you never felt the same

Memories, haunting my weary mind
fits of rage, sorrow, agony
gone for months but still remain
hide you deep and choke you down

Forever seemed to come and go
your empty promises, looks and lies
a gentle kiss, with poison sealed
darkness crept, the sparkle gone
