A Bitter, Yet Sweet Curse
Location
Here I lay in the hours of night
Filling my mind with all that I know
The image of an angel binds my sight
With frozen emotions embedded in snow.
Nine years in the past
Whether by first sight or not
One day's recognition will forever last
As a desire for which battles are fought.
Time was so simple back then
Yet timid memories leave the largest of bruises
The innocent love of a boy of ten
To forget them my mind refuses.
Her radiant eyes of brown
Draw in life far beyond our sun
To this day they prevent the spread of a frown
And time stops when her irises stun.
A tone that rings in her voice
Sings chorus to my obsessive mind
And leaves my stomach to rejoice
As if it were meant for my ears to find.
There is a glow that lights up every feature
Such as the curve of that pearly grin
There is but no earthly creature
That can match such eyes with fair skin.
I am tainted with this sickness of obsession
A bitter, yet sweet curse to hold
An emotion that is always in my possession
Or am I owned, waiting to be sold?
Regardless, time has taken its thrust
And has tortured and imprisoned me
Imprisoned by not love, but by lust
Yet she holds the sole active key.
