"A Requiem For a Sundered Love"

The gravity of pain

  In the decay of emotions

The company of rain

  In the flow of illusions.

Seconds forever frozen in time

And moments ending in a flash

Heartbeats that've forgotten time

Lying down, pulsating its decay

Pouring out the warmth once felt

The warmth turned cold.

Lay me hanging on agony's pinnacle

Let every sweat and blood drip down

Let every sweat know its purpose

And let blood drip down its most

Cause in agony I've found a secret

Its comfort-giving caress that lasts

Its medicine on a heart--

Brutally skewered.

A fleeting game I've knowingly played

On fields of attraction tirelessly made

Like doppelgangers upon my reflection

A love sent back, willfully worthwhile

A love well-kept, never to destruction

A love.. now refracted to a million shards

Only replayed in films of past.

Send me beneath the waves still awake

Let every sound remain mute and silent

Let their quiet make way for my howls

The howls of passion to feelings now lost

The rapid tides, and the downward pull

Have the tides blur the skies to its core

Keep my view come forever beneath

Stir my reality starting from what I see

And let the oceans pull me deeper

Continously downward to its grave abyss

The grave abyss where my throne rests.

"Reality take me back"

Forget it all, remove the circuitry of love

Free my soul from the bindings we made

Make me sever the nostalgic cues I had.

These rugged sheets

Harboring our lustful desires:

Petty kisses and silly touches

Now sheltered my lucid isolation.

Unwashed dishes

From a supper once shared

Now turned to a meal unfinished.

All shattered frames

Of days that blossomed

Only to remind:

That all had wilth.

A broken sofa

Ah, a surreal fragment to remember

The torrental raindrops

My stout shoulders sheltering your fragile head

All made tranquil with a blanket for two.

This accursed room

Harbors the ruins of us.. of you

The paragon of freedom for us

Now confines me within these walls

Forever a prisoner to the past

The past of two hearts in love.

Keep the horrid sun forever far away

Let my isolation serve its sentence

Lay me in the frigid downpour forever

Hold me in place and don't ever let go

Take my heart and keep me impervious

Impervious to any emotion that visits

Lay me asleep, engulfed with dreams

Cause you're my dreams

And I don't want to let go.

Is love only to be a precursor for pain?

Cause all I've felt today is the rapture

A result from a romance detached

I don't want another onomatopeia of you

I don't want another movie of romance

Only to reach its credits roll after you've felt its heart-felt climax.

I'll just rest, sitted ashore the ruins of us

I'll just rest, just me and surely just me

The remaining piece to a musical for two

An echo from a sound long gone

A splinter from jewelry crushed

Ashes from flames doused out

  Just me without you.

"A day blanketed in rue everlasting
Walking on aisles that seemed forever
The halls of white that are never good
I arrived in front the god forsaken door
Heart beat raging, my mind scrambled
Stepping inside to see the faces of gloom
Families, friends, and relatives all there
  Goodbye mi amore."
