Love's strongest hold.

By Deviated09

I kept you closest to me.
I felt your heart beat in me.
I know your desires,
your innermost needs.
The pain I feel when you're away

The darkest secrets in me,
begging to be let go, free.
They want you, need you now.
I die at the thought,
that I may never see you again.

The quarantine is now upon us.
I may never see you again.
The faith I have left,
left but never forgotten.
You were all that was of me.

Aged by years of agony,
torture, lust, and deep love.
You made me complete.
You are my everything,
even from beyond the eternal gates.

I am the fallen angel,
left on this ravaged plane.
Without my crutches to hold,
you shall see another me.
All is done for what you gave.

The reaper took the trees, grass..
Animals, people, everything.
With eyes of emerald green..
M'lady, you gave me strength.
Strength to carry on passed this.

I bear the death-bitten shield,
the sword now crimson.
The wings on my back
bring comfort no more.
Only the reminder of thee.

There is no love.

No love..

That is all that echoes inside this mind.

The sporadic pain returning.

Remembering how you looked so hurt at parting

Knowing I could of done more, risked more to keep you.

Seeing the doors shut, the tears run down your face
The pain never seared through my body stronger.

The lights dimmed around all but you.
I knew it was over for me.

I cannot help but beg the lullaby of death be on me soon.
To just travel into the deep, dark void, never to return.

but..

Then I remember the promise I made to you.
To see you through.
Be the last survivor with love as ours.
Find a way to bring you back to me.
Reunited, once more. Ever more.

You will see me again, my love.
We will soon see what can't be.
We will be complete.
We will.. Survive.
For nothing will hold us apart.

    Hmm... the more I read it, the more I like it... it's clear that there are multiple layers to peel beyond some of the simplicity... I like this.

    I'd recommend a less-cliche final stanza to bring the whole thing home, and the beginning took a while to gain steam, but I really enjoyed the middle... there definitely is a more introspective side as the poem goes along... overall, good work. :)

    Thanks for the criticism and advice :-) that was just the rough write, I didn't do any editing except for a duplicated sentence I missed.. it was a random spurt of inspiration I had to write(these insanely long work weeks and classes have me too exhausted to be inspirational anymore)
