Magical Ways

When your name is spoken
An ill-begotten prayer
A spell woven but forgotten
I cry a black river
Forced to swim through
Reliving all we were
In memories misplaced
Repressed so I could
Pretend I did not need
Your magical ways yet
When your name is spoken
An ill-begotten prayer
A spell woven but forgotten
I cry a black river
As I unravel inside
