Vermilion
A tear I caught
with a glottal stop.
Before my beating heart
I'd stop.
Set in vermilion,
high atop
my soul did stutter
of Heaven it mocked.
She looked into my eyes
ethereal
divine
like two of a species
her
and I.
I did belie
my sundering heart
Consciousness
Existence
an inhale starts.
hands trembling
reluctantly breathing
tell-tale lovers
my irrational affliction
burning and seething.
Your lips bear no degree
on my soul as they once did.
So here I've waited
and I've hated
for a girl I once knew
set in true vermilion
your unmistakable hue.
