Spreading like moss
covering from end to end
and shaping its identity
at the expense of my happiness
a parasitic relationship
sucking the life out of me
my obsidian life,
as I lick and suck the dewdrops
laced with the poison ivy
Dripping out of my palsied mouth
words are warbled
and getting
lost in the time
a smattering cacophony
Though every relation
has turned into vapor
a ghost from the past
a bloody trail of the memories
lingering in the
shadows
like the dying tail of a comet
Everything leaves
and forgets my identity
my sorrow,
my pain,
my loyal friend
an old companion,
always stay by my side.
never leaves me.
