Uninvited Guest
Nightly she welcomes
Her uninvited visitor
Keeping her conscious
Through hours of darkness
They speak through silence
Sharing murderous memories
That weakens the strongest warrior
She tells him of the ones that
Tore away her smile
One taste of his lips
Turns into two and three
Alone she absorbs
The savory flavor
He doesn’t judge her
As she keeps on needing
His comforting presence
Willingly he waits
For her to hold him
As she falls victim
To his seduction
Waiting for her nightly
Hovering from above
Filling her empty glass
Slowly letting the pain fade
Before sunrise he
Resides within
Her aching soul
Awaiting to
Be consumed
Sip by sip
