The Garden

My beloved, did you return to the river?
My beloved, did you come to check on me?
Since you left me all alone, love, did you shiver?
Did the sight of me bring weakness to your knees?
The darkness you never knew
Could creep up inside of you
And guide an atrocious hand
That can’t be undone again
And the darkness inside of me
Is all that I ever need
And I will return again
But I’ll come to get even
My beloved, do you see me when your eyes close?
My beloved, do you wake reaching for me?
As the body you once held begins to, decompose
You’d be better off not going back to sleep
The darkness you never knew
Could creep up inside of you
And guide an atrocious hand
That can’t be undone again
And the darkness inside of me
Is all that I ever need
And I will return again
But I’ll come to get even
The greater
Mystery
Still lies ahead
My beloved, did you feel my heart start beating?
Did you gasp the moment I drew in a breath?
When I finally drug my body through the threshold?
Did it break your heart before you met your death?
I told you I was coming
