| I, like Ophelia mad, am gripped
by the pain and torment of love lost.
Torn, between two evils,
between two destructive forces that
pull and tear at my heart.
Oh, how the cold water beckons,
pulling at me, calling out to me...
Yet, freezing the blood in my veins,
the water seems so much warmer than you.
The frigid arms of the clear liquid
surrounds me, cushions me,
as the rose petals fall across my eyes
recreating the world in a haze of red.
I see nothing but love, now.
The love that you ripped away from me,
the love that you claimed for another...
My endless love for you.
Never again shall your love awaken me,
for I shall never again be awakened. | | |
| My Loyal Heart
Forget the pain, my loyal heart,
and that you've been betrayed.
Forget the fact that we must part,
and wish not that he had stayed.
You loved him well, my loyal heart,
as you're wont to do,
but we both knew it, from the start,
that he would only break you.
Mend yourself, my loyal heart,
and let the past be gone.
Soon there'll be a brand new start,
because he was not the one.
Oh, argue not, my loyal heart,
that it cannot be true.
From your midst he will depart,
and you will love anew.
You cause me tears, my loyal heart,
when you ache for him so,
but with your love you must part,
it's time to let him go.
Please, weep not, my loyal heart,
but recall romantic things.
Be not sad that we're apart,
but love what the future may bring. | | |
| You Know
It's ripping me apart inside,
knowing that you will never again whisper
I love you in my ear.
But you know that.
You know that you have torn
my heart to shreds.
You know that I will never again
be able to have you touch me
without thinking of all the nights
where that touch meant so much...
where that touch turned into a caress...
and then more.
You know that all the promises you made
have been broken.
You know that you will not be able to make
my life any better,
as you so longed to do when I cried,
when you held me in your arms,
and murmured to me all the things
that we would have in the future.
But how could you have known
that you would stop loving me?
That everything you ever said to me
would become a lie.
That you would hurt me so much.
How could you have known? | | |
| Melting away into cold oblivion,
the pain dissolves,
and I am left,
standing next to him.
I am relieved,
and yet I know that it will return.
But for now, I smile,
and revel in the warmth
of a body so close to mine.
A heart beating,
as mine strives to match it's cadence.
His soft, upturned lips
as I laugh impishly
and run my fingers down his spine.
A kiss,
sudden, yet soft,
and his arms around me,
caressing, pulling me closer.
Whispering...
I love you.
A tear, streaming down my cheek,
wiped away by gentle hands,
kissed away by sweet lips.
Hold me closer,
never let me go,
make me cry tears of joy,
never cried before.
Salty, bittersweet,
yet the sweetest tears
I've ever cried.
Because....
I love you.

| A rant;
We've loved now, for a little while,
and yet I don't know if I say it enough.
I belong to you, my love.
You woo me with roses,
and romantic nights out,
but all I want is for you to hold me
as I drift away into dreamless sleep.
It hurts, darling, that we cannot be together,
night after night.
That many things keep us from doing as we truly feel,
and spending every moonlit evening in each others arms.
Wispered words of love, sweet nothings,
do not ease the yearning I have, deep inside,
to always have you near,
to press my ear to your chest as a snuggle next to you,
and listen to the rhythm of your heart.
You own me, love, I am yours,
and yet I can see you fear losing me.
Romance, dancing, candle light
as you cling desparately to me
mean nothing compared to the times
you look me in the eyes and say that you love me.
I belong to you, sweetheart. I love you.
