Phantoms

Saw myself reflected in you
Thought I could stop my bleeding
By being your tourniquet

Tried so hard, to keep our cravings
From carving their way into consciousness
But they severed our serenity
And divorced our love from trust

Denial taught me how to lie
Found clever places
To hide from my shadow
And slip into illusion

Enchanted by envy
And enamored with vanity
Hubris led us to the ocean

Waves of euphoria
Kissed the lonely beaches

This is bloody beautiful. Just what I needed!
Sweet, sad, deeply moving, incisive.
