For "Her."
Her words cut through the ether, ensuring
Another night I’ll hate myself to sleep.
The mind o’erthrown becomes an unwilling
Traitor – yielding all sense as mem’ry creeps;
Rising once more from the abyss of dreams.
You’d think by now my heart would be immune;
Standing impregnable ‘gainst lies which seem
Sweet, though prove nothing but a Siren’s tune.
In truth, I can’t deny wishing to hear
Those songs again, although I know they’ll cause
Renewed pain; fueling a madness I fear
Leaves love forever corrupted and flawed.
Lady, I beg,
demand no more of me,
For thy
tongue hath bred my soul’s agony.
Your words cut through the ether,ensuring

Those words again, although I know they'll cause
Renewed pain; pain I am willing to endure for one such as you.
