A Thistle's Lament

His eyes align with hers,

I yearn to turn away

But my sick self prefers

To willingly fall prey

The poison starts to spread

Their foreheads softly meet

Flashbacks fix inside my head

Of visions bittersweet

She has the thing I yearn for most

But he wants her, not me

And so I play the cheerful host

My haunted spirit bleeds

Forgiveness is a scent

That a rose leaves on the heel

That crushes it without repent

That cares not how it feels

Perhaps one day I'll be the bloom

Instead of thistles sharp

I'll then erase the mournful croon

Of one left in the dark.
