Lament

The downside of character as destiny.


Where are you
dragging me now?
I've been this way
before.
Pain lives here. 
She stands
in the doorway
of desire.
Her eyes are hollow,
hungry, and her teeth
are knives.


I fear
she will leave us
fractured, splintered,
a wounded beast...
that will not die
no matter the damage.


Wretched monster,
you insist
on struggling
against all hope
and reason,
blind to common sense--
All thought is treason.
Desperately,
you rage against
inconstancy--
sure of Fate's final
dispensation.


O heart of mine!
What am I to do
with you?
