Morning
by Elenmir
A/N: I wrote this late last night when I should have been preparing for my finals, but oh well. I hope you enjoy it and feedback is always appreciated.
*****************************************************
Blood blazes through my veins, taunting me mercilessly.
My heart pounds quickly as my breathing becomes ragged.
Alone
I tremble as my longing clouds my haunted eyes.
My skin feels too cold, like a weathered covering for my shattered dreams.
Denied
Gazing at the forbidden object of my desire, my ability for self-control eludes me.
My hands clench in an angry fist while I try to deaden my inner struggle.
Pain
Unwanted and unloved, I bite the inside of my mouth and taste the bitterness of my life.
My frame is still as I exhale audibly, don my aire of mystery and gentlemanly etiquette,
and walk through the tired door.
Good morning, Christine.
