Cobwebs

Shadows move slowly across the dark
Street as I gaze longingly past the
Rooftops and over the city's twinkling
Frigid lights though my two story bedroom Window
Shadows enclose my soul

Memories ebb and flow through the murky
Depths of my shattered mind as
Distant passions still torment my restless
Slumber and my body still burns to ashes for
The touch of his mouth against my flesh

Now the seasons have spun a tapestry of
Misery and pain that would surely
Have driven me insane if it weren't for the
Sweetness of the rare lovemaking we shared
That returns to me in vivid dreams

Shadows fall across my eyes as his face
Becomes more and more faded as
The years turn upon each other and my
Body begins to feel the toll of the seasons
And my mind is clouded now with cobwebs
