Mistress of Despair

Mistress of Despair

A Poem by Lockedheart

The clock struck 12 
and there she comes 
my mistress of despair 

fills my lungs 
and coats my gums 
with black tar and deadly air 

waits in the dark 
till I fall apart 
then she rushes in 

and if the pain runs deep
she'll visit me in my sleep 
to remind me of what I fear

Great work. I can relate with this more than I want to admit. Beautifully crafted.
