The Orchid

the hunt never tires, as victims fall into play
i have found her
she is slaughtered at my nimble hand

later i lay to disperse my final fears
dreams sever my concentration
she haunts me still like a shadow

i run to her body
a hand thrusts upward, inward
i cower within

and gaze through my blackened heart
devastation
pain

now a cry rips through the night
my cry
i sit beside my life
a bead of sweat forms
she releases me

now I rot beside her
into an unforgiving oblivion
