Crumple in anguish at your feet
Brainwaves flung, jostled with conceit
Every nerve cluster sobs inside
Grovel and pine for redemption
Your will can’t offer exemption
Each passage throttles hope denied
Dreams taunt moments with yearning
Despite this lust to be learning
Wisps of your essence drift away
Echoes haunt my state of mind
Still struggling to cast you behind
Clutching to savor your bouquet
Acting aloof to shield my pride
Changes arise as cells divide
While brittle tissues grow hollow
Psychic commands don’t shape my clay
Since self doubt controls this foray
A lone moth charmed by Apollo
Soul expelled amid brutal force
Manifestations bleed remorse
From my adoring catastrophe
Withered contentment toils to bend
Even if faith fails to transcend
The one I don’t trust now is me
