One Last Oath
_
 

 

I just want to tell you one last time that you’re the best,

But I feel as though my heart was just laid at rest.

The pieces of what once was, are scattered on the floor

With the memories of sorrow from when you walked out the door.

_

Where does my sweet Saint, Valentine, lay so idle?

Has Aphrodite become preoccupied with her own scandal?

Did Cupid’s arrow miss his mark, or think that his work was complete?

Unconscious I know, my heart will never be able to beat.

_

I’ve always complained about the things I don’t know.

Until I ran into a man who said that he had no soul.

Now he wanders, aimlessly, going to and fro.

Living with remorse for the fact of that there was only a hole.

_

Now we must part, for the kindling warmth no longer sparks,

At least for half of a whole, or at least it just seems.

But one body cannot move if half doesn’t respond, which I remark.

But, with my arms, always open, you’ll find me, as I keep you in my dreams.

Revision

Revision

Like a faint hiss, the raging wind howls 

The nagging of it’s voice haunts to feast. 

It screams and makes me feel like a fowl 

Hunted by an incognito beast. 

I can’t escape this terrible being. 

For I am the cause, I am the cause 

The siren sirens through it’s meanings, 

Resurrected by a simple clause. 

This, a gift from a devious dove, 

Who has a sign on it’s back called love. 

_ 

I sense that vengeance is now brewing. 

Forsaken, due to my severed heart. 

Nevermore will I feel this yearning. 

Now I must live with this dreaded dart. 

Forever, it’s stuck as life goes on. 

Motionless, as I can’t even breathe 

The pain of it’s presence won’t be gone. 

The agony continues to sheathe. 

Everything is now nothing to be 

You took everything and just left me.
