Being whipped under the sinking shadow, drawn by the

Edges of the fire bird Phantom

Hearts torn asunder, I long to hear your golden call

Erased by a dozen sounds of piercing feelings that drove into me like distracted daggers

Anabel-Lee, I look for you in the golden tendrils of the bloody woods

Drama lurking, the movie of the devil raven ever pining in a maddening row of sickness and pain, the

Edifice that was ravenously put between us to tear us apart

Demanded that my head no longer needed my body, without you, I couldn't stay in this world to touch a shared longing, yellow shadow----departed.

“Beheaded”

----

Author note- because why would an author need their head without their precious Anabel-Lee?

    That infernal edifice put between always does it. Familiar emotions ever in abundance. Lovely sad poem.
