This conflict; so wicked.
To lose, so necessary to love.
A memory, not to be let go.
A disillusion, driving madness.
Pleasure knit in pain; masochism at its finest.
Lenore –
Forevermore calls out to me; Nevermore to be heard.

This was very interesting, addressing a poem to Lenore. You should do one from Lenore!! Like what if her spirit could see how mad her love have become?
