AZURE NIGHTMARE
'You love me in the tangled sheets
For however brief'
Vulture of innocence
My name is all, and nothing
Draped with carrion
Festering beneath the dove
As my shadow is cast upon her
There falls an air of ruin
And time claimed what I forbade
Her youth poured into the glass
She spoke to me of eldritch dreams
The haunted and desolate scenes
And from the blind spot of mind
Shone light of a hue unrecognized
It descends into being as mist opaque
So invasive, as if to molest her solidarity
And as senses diminish, so too does inhibition
'Till naught but a husk remains
A bloody, bound, broken body
Discarded...
Left to sate a more malefic cause
A bewildered deviation
Awoke in a cold sweat
With stains upon the fabric
Struggling, a silent scream for air
And the room reeks of Death
Desperation was the flame
That seared you from the inside out
Desperate for a stable heart
In the arms of strangers
Eyes gouged out by consequence
You will never trust again...
Gnihton htrow era uoy
All of who she was
And ever longed to become
Lay beyond the emptiness
Of each unfinished page
They stagnate on the floor
The piles at the door
She's locked herself inside
It's words that shatter lives
Truth revealed in fragments
The nature of fixation
Beckoning from a burdened heart
As desire feeds ignorance
'Don't hate me for what I've done
Or what I've become'

Whoa. For now, I'm just going to let you know "you are worth noting" (not only) added a clever style I appreciate but provided yet another layer of intensity to the lot.
