Love Poem: Velvet Night

Velvet Night

Sitting here with thoughts of you;
My heart twisted up with pain.
A soul as black as a starless night,
My mind full of questions once again.

I withdraw into the velvet blackness;
Chaos is swirling through me.
My heart collapses upon itself,
My mind bursting to be free.

I cry out in my anguish,
Mind shattered on the floor.
Blood splashed out everywhere,
Painted upon the doors.

As I come back to myself,
I curl into a ball and whimper.
Before you came into my life,
It was so much simpler.
