Melissa

Her name tears at the linings of my heart,

She crawls into my mind and plants herself like a unknown seedling

Muttering my own death chant I say her name

rebirth has chosen only a few and with mine I will bloom

because she has planted within me a soul

a conviction no trial can appeal

her love has claimed me and I will not ignore faith

for even a love that’s fleeting is better than a love never had but when one finds his meaning that love will never be bad.
