Poem: The Poetic Love Story of a Goth

Selected Verses:

Requiem for a Gothic Dream

Within the deepest confines
of my mind, you plumed
and branded gothic signs
that bled me, leaving me entombed.

You left a requiem for a dream:
my arms groping in the mist
of a pallid phantom’s scheme
whose kiss I did not dare resist.
