One uses to burn memories and desire
Short lived ecstasy of a ride
Hides the pain of love.
And I have tried
take that higher path
It’s so hard
A pause
righteousness
I am a demon no less
Blessed with the right to be kind
If only just
in my mind
Allow me this
Let me tell you that you are missed
More than that last kiss.
Ahh the sickly sweetness
Pains me.
