Love remains


My love once pure, now 

tainted. Lips still savoring

Your hidden taste, My sight 

fades locked on you. 

My Final breath wains

With your sweet scent

Trapped within. 

My soul sings just

for you. As I fade 

to but a memory. As you 

live on. My burning fervor 

still untouched. My heart 

remains where my body 

lays. Now I dwell in worlds 

unseen, Here. here, I lie. Fading, 

Fading. As my thoughts 

remain of you

 

But now as I watch

you walk away Hoping,

Hoping you would look back, 

One last time.

Stunned as my life

drains away

Ragged breaths 

somberly drag on 

Fearing, fearing deaths

cruel sweet kiss. 

Holding the crimson

blade inlaid in me 

As my lungs sputter

their last breath

My eyes never strayed,

from you as you run away. 

 

And yet here I wait 

at heavens gate 

Waiting, waiting forlornly 

for release, 

that will never come 

I put myself on display 

And like a vandal you desecrated

Everything I ever held dear!

You were the cruelty 

that cut my mercy

The taint to my purity 

the sinful lust to my innocence

What low plain of existence 

did I stoop to deserve such torment?

And yet you convinced me it was love 

And like a coward I believed you 

This.This, I suffered

 wrought by your seduction.
