Clawing at an unwanted reflection of an image misconstrued,
Feeling every compound of my existence disintegrating through my fingers.
Again, and again.. A piece of my life deteriorating,
Tainted, poisoned with every acquaintance..
Provoking penetration of my internal demise.

Memoirs forever etched in my flesh,
Like residue from a life I struggle to comprehend as my own.
Every touch; a burn that refrains from healing;
Debris of vermin that tarnished my being,
And altered my reality.

Fortuitously,
Like a wave of divine light on a dim bed of clouds,
Came one who restored my emotions anew;
Cleansing me, driving my scalded heart to remission,
And encapsulating my soul.

My mind now saturated with an aura of irrationality,
My heart set ablaze; the fire barricading every emotion but this.
It cannot be an infatuation, such desires associate not with foolishness!
These desires are too immense, and venture further then the notion of delirium.

No callous hands can emanate this from me now.
Thoughts and critiques are welcome. Thanks for reading. :)
