    By missT (The One Who Came Back With the Crows) Someone came back today,the way a crow returnsto an empty fieldquiet, watchful,circling slowover groundthey once unsettled.

    🕯️ The One and Only You by MissT I cursed your name in midnight storms,Where shattered vows still bleed,The echoes of our dying flameWere all my heart could heed. Six long months the ravens watched,While frost grew on my tongue.Yet time, that cruel and patient ghost,Has made our sorrows young. We’ve both drunk deep of…

  • Extinguish Not My Fire:

    A Gothic Confession by MissT The wind has torn the rose from bloom, And left its ghost behind me. Your name still stirs within the gloom, No grave shall yet confine me. It breaks me to stay, it breaks me to part, Each step a blade of yearning. You dwell within my fevered heart, A…
