Ghosts of You

Smother you from my life
I take your soul and make it mine
Tommorow brings 'forget me nots' and better days
The more things change your memory rots all the same
Fleeing kisses retreat to darkness
Heaven forbid I greet your cheek with bloody fists
Hubris descends
Chaotic love doomed not to grow
I sever you like a rotten limb
Sheep lost its herd
You die alone
Remnants of you buried; gone
Deep in my mind and in the forest dark
Your heart I discard, rot in peace
But your lingering scent it haunts me still
