The Lady in Grey

Her hair falls softly over her bruises and gashes,

 but the origins of these blemishes I dare not guess.

The sutures that roughly interrupt her beautiful smile,

 lock away the horrifying tale from my fragile heart.

When I look at her I feel very afraid.

 More terrified than ever I have felt in my lifetime.

But why?

Who is she?

She has haunted my dreams for over a decade,

 Chilling my aching bones until they shatter under the fear.

The blood seeps down her enchanting face,

 Saturating my mind with sadness and remorse.

I feel her hand on my shoulder, 

Everything ebbs away.

Her beauty shines from behind her cadaverous form.

Her tears flow silently down my chest,

and I caress her lovingly.

I hold her tight as I wait for the lump in my throat to dislodge.

I want to be able to take away her pain,

I no longer care who she is.

I love this woman far too much to see her in such agony.

The mysterious lady in grey who causes me such anguish.

A product of my diseased mind yet also the cure to what wrought her from my foul mind.

She is all I have ever needed, 

 She will always be there for me,

and I shall always do the same.

Very persuasive, deductive and seductive

I want to know these people but feel a thrill when there is a way of suspense with this one in every other line, you have tapped into such intuition of the spirit what is hopeful about a thing, whatever it be
