I lost my way down the marvelous path
Of beauty and love, not anger nor wrath.
My one true love so caught beneath,
I stuttered and trembled my sword unsheathed.
My eyes did lust for others’ sought riches
Defiantly, I harkened and listened to witches.
Trickery, mockery, deceit and pain
Loneliness, anger all felt the same.
How did I?
How could I?
A mistake, such blunder
My heart’s other half, how crazy I wonder.
Months have gone, myself w’thout her
Time seemed endless, nothing occurred.
I wasted myself the fear away
Of actually knowing what was once, decayed.
Was I smart, or dumb to have let her go?
I thought I protected our future pain’s growth.
I traveled and traveled a meaningless voyage
Through pass ways above and under much foliage.
No fortune found to feed mine eye
No destined sound for my ears, I tried.
My senses mixed with one another,
Undeniable fact, there is none other
My ears have cried, my eyes have lied
My tongue inhaled my hands have died.
My sword, now sheathed, I stopped to rest
And noticed a memorable leap in my chest.
Twas her, my first, my last
At last, I’ve seen her
before my breath’s last cast.
We shared a moment, just in the eyes
Her’s less real, less sensual than mine.
I knew from then she wasn’t anymore
What I still feel deep within my core.
“I love you”
“I love you”
I said it once more.
To no response, no echo… closed door.
The girl I left, whose heart had shattered,
Was left alone to mend what’s battered.
Bruised and torn, like the pages in my book
She denied my final effort one last look.
Damned back to lonely cowardly self,
Those witches, I hate, I need no help.
I’ve become mine enemy whose heads I’ve shelved.
I am what I hated, a monster, I need no help.
