haunts lost love



the day was a withering line
the time contorted with error
the world was augmented with a dyad device
there had been purpose to deny false empyrean like beliefs
the dream I had looped with a twilight screen
in my elemental cube named my soul
I had looked inward to see meant a reflection of hollowness
and there is no fact in the decaying error which haunts lost love.
