Time Capsule

ME CAPSULE
09-30-2015
Prudence incarnate
Enticing and exciting
Reckless / selfish

Compatible up until
The consumption of chemicals
The emotion blotted, the romance killed.

Imprisoned by her
Enamored and rotted
I writhe in her field.

Lost and forgotten
Heart-lorned and haunted
By her intensity
 Shadows lock her heart
The moon, the night 
Nothing shall keep this apart.

Except for ourselves.
Except by her.
Derision
Indecision

Anchored by ghosts
Falling away
Freezing me out.
Torture to heart.
Diseased in judgment 
Forgiveness? The cure.
The virus is doubt.
