Painful Promises

April 25, 2019

We had a love so pure,

Souls and souls facing space and time;

You and I, together,

Hearts and souls facing emptiness.

I would have loved you, forever,

But our passion was just a figment;

Always meant only a day,

And forever meant only a minute.

Our love is no more.

I thought it was forever.

Was there no pledge?

I would have followed you always,

Hearts and hearts heading for the edge.

But our pulse was just a ghost,

There was only darkness,

It pains me to the core;

And our passion is no more.

True love you told me,

Our bodies were bound.

But our love, just a figment of truth,

Bodies and souls that got tossed around.

Our love, one of which you never believed,

It destroys me to the core,

Our hearts were decieved;

And our souls, no more.

We had a love so pure,

Bodies and bodies facing darkness.

You and I, together,

Souls and hearts confronting the fog of war.

I would have waited for you, forever,

But our love was just a wish, unfilled.

In our passion, there was only emptiness.

It breaks me to the core,

As I bid you farewell,

Just know our souls shall be, nevermore.
