Bane and Boon

this heart is leaden

dead inside

for whom it once bled
has absconded

where into the wind
she wandered

i have not
the will to know

so it is
as it has been

a boundless maiden
bearing burden

born amidst a burning brood

abandoned by its absence
unheard

branded as a bride
aberrant

bane and boon

gone is the moonlight

henceforth
shall i roam

denied the gloaming
of her pallid lure
