Wreck

By Despair

Your amber eyes can't hide the lies
That your mouth won't let me hear
As I look right through your crooked disguise
And I see that my love had decayed
Into sorrow and fear

Your empty words, I truly believed
Yet now I lay hear broken, bereaved
Our love was eternal, but I never asked why
And now I see I loved only your lie

This curse was born from my blackest heart
On that very first night when I swam to the stars
And you accompanied me on that first journey
To this world which imprisons eternally
And we laughed and we cried
And we danced and we lied
And the scars between us will never be healed
For this trauma can never be un-revealed

At the moment, however, we remain together
I pray that our union nothing will sever
But at three months off and three months on
(This pattern so far has never been wrong)
I fear once more you will abandon me
This time though, I must set you free

You've hurt me more times than I can count
And still my heart would never back down
But when the time comes, I will end this war
I won't let you hurt me anymore

Just remember, forever, I will always love you
No matter what your actions may cause me to do
But for now I sit alone, screaming "All hands on deck!"
For my head and my heart are two sinking ships about to
Wreck.

Author's Note:

I wrote this for a school project. A couple of lines are from a poem I've already posted on this site, but I feel they're utilized much better in this work.
