Evanescence

Viciously you vanished
To another star
To build a pyramid of sorrow
Deep in the jungle of your heart
All that you do still sounds hollow

Delete my prints from your body
Efface my name from your lips
Erase the pleasures you withheld us
Release my mind from your hips

Capriciously you courted grief
To build a temple of tears
Displaying our treasure on the altar
To the utter horror of years

I wish I had only dreamed
The elaborate pattern of misunderstanding
I wish I would wake up
Seeing you smile and not pretending

Have I lost you, I wonder sometimes?
You disappeared leaving no address
Too proud to ask, up and about
I stay and stagger clearing the mess
