Ivy's Lament

'Round and round in endless pain

This silence falls like deadly rain

Turn about and turn again

"I love you now... I loved you? When?"

The chaos breeds a bleeding chain

Of doubt, regret and anger's stain

A hollow promise, oozing rot

"I want you now! I want you? What?"

Twist and spin, the wheel of flame

Engulfed in passion, mortals' game

White-hot, burning, then the spark

Smothers, dies and all goes dark

An empty coal with hollow eyes

All dressed up in pretty lies.
