Mirage - Lycus

A tenebrous rose

Revels in misery

Wilting with fatal mystique

Yet to drown

Tears crawl down

Longing for some kind of escape

Looming with astral elegance

Insatiable desires

Plunging into forbidden play

The scars of sickness

Perennial suffering

The precious poison

Won’t wash this curse away

Pleasure to pain

Shackles clench tighter

Sanity frays

Clinging to life

While nurturing death

Another petal falls away
