Release ?

 Sharon White

the glinting silvers from the beautiful blade

spark in my brain promises of release

the sweet, cold, burning agony the price

for eternal rest in land of fantasy

after entering your grave's dark embrace

shyly lying beneath your velvet wing

sleep should come and make its peace

with me in death that i never had in life,

but tell me true if your bloody lovers' clutch

will deliver from all my misery

or shall i writhe in a land of pain

worse than the one in which i dwell

forbidden even the grace of your wrath?
