Voices Echo- a poem

Voices Echo

K.N. Lee

Voices echo inside my head

As I watch him sleep 
In my bed

He's a beautiful creature 

So pale and white

His best feature

Is his will and might 

He's no longer real...

But I see him

I feel him

As a hand reaches out to caress his face

His blue eyes open

And he comes closer...

For a taste

Of my innocent beauty

Pure heart 
And soul

This figment of my imagination 

Swallows me whole

It consumes

And dooms me

To an eternity 

Of lonesome 
Agony

My love is dead

His shadow cries
 I sorely dread
The pain in his eyes

Thinking of
A life without him

Looking up

The stars seem so dim

He cannot be free
His love

Will linger with me

Until...
I say, "Go!"

With salty tears 

Then, he'll know 

Our time has ended...

This doomed love suspended 

Unless...

I join him...

On a red-hot bloody whim

Sharp knife

And purple-pulsing vein

Death with him

Is better than a life of this pain
