Here you come again,
my dark serpent, veiled
in murderous midnight,
with bridges burdened
by their weary weight.
There’s no escape, only
silent wings flapping,
bursting into flames,
their cries pained crimson,
dripping, unknown.
Your music haunts,
slithering, smothering,
stalking the vacuum.
The found is lost, the once,
dismissed, discarded, dead.
What do I have left
but your tail, twirling
a horizon faltering, eroded
as I stare, by promises
so close yet so far away.
