Face a face of fear Rolling down, tis a lonely tear Hear the words so near Leaning closer to your ear What will become of us? Shall we live on, or crumble? “I loved you,” I mumble You falter, fumble, words a jumble I ask you why Yet you act sly You say you don’t know, too choked to cry You deny that you’re a lie I walk away There’s nothing left to say You grab my hand, keeping me at bay “Don’t leave me,” you pray I pry free I don’t want your eyes on me You’re on your knees, making one last plea I leave you there, I disagree The next day I lie in bed Closing my eyes with a weary head What misfortunes I had bred My very life, hanging on a thread I turn away, as if refusing what is real I wonder if I will ever heal Into my sub-consciousness I steal Digging up emotions I had tried to conceal I hug my pillow as I weep There are memories I wish to keep And as the day begins to creep I lay there muddled in a heap I must accept it has finally come to an end As I go on the days all blend My open wounds I attempt to mend “The sun is shining,” I pretend But as I look out all is gloom A reflection of my pending doom With renewed feeling I head to my room Thinking of it as my tomb I wonder what you’re going through If your life is just as blue I recall how easily our feelings grew When our relationship was still new I also wonder why I live on Staring down at the shabby clothes I don Compared to I, she was a swan And I an awkward little fawn How could you become so weak? The answer I did truly seek I look in the mirror with flustered cheek All I see is a freak My ornery stare My messy hair It all creates an inferior air Her features were so soft and fair Why should I feel so down? Because I am a peasant and she bears a crown She makes me feel like a clown In my self-doubt I could drown From my door I hear a knock These thoughts I soon do block I open the door as I end the short walk There you stand, there I gawk Now I do not wish to think And my eyes twicely blink All these questions I do drink Into my room I do shrink You asked if you may come inside All I wished to do was hide Seeing my discomfort, you sighed Without a word came to my bedside At your confidence I stared in awe Remembering my every flaw Unprepared, I locked my jaw All emotions were raw You looked away from my sad state Seeing me like this you did hate Your words I did impatiently await Wondering what frustrations you might create You asked forgiveness one last time I looked at you as if you were slime Your bravery is a crime Guys like you aren’t worth a dime I asked you quite sternly to leave Leave me alone so that I may grieve I wiped my new tears with my sleeve I couldn’t believe I had been so naïve You looked weary of your life At once I knew you had felt strife On your arms were cuts from a knife You asked me to be your wife I looked appalled For an answer I stalled This was irony, as it was called I would have rather been mauled “How could you ask such a thing?!” You handed me a diamond ring To the object I did cling Denying it would really sting “I don’t trust you anymore” I led you to my bedroom I could tell that you felt sore At your heart I certainly tore You asked me for your ring back My countenance grew black To ask for it, you were a maniac Out the door you yelled I was a quack After you left I stared at it My lower lip I softly bit In my mind I wished you’d quit I wanted to forget, not commit I called your house and waited for you to pick up Your precious ring I did cup I reminded you why we did break up You said goodbye and quickly hung up The next day I went to your work I told you, “You’re a confusing jerk” At this remark you did smirk I thought one of us might go berserk That night you visited my house The whole place was quieter than a mouse I wore a silky loose blouse You asked again if I would be your spouse Out of impulse I invited you in I asked you kindly how you had been At this remark you seemed to grin Tenderly you touched my skin At your touch my thoughts did haze Into your eyes once more I did gaze Your loving hands I would always praise My low spirits you did raise Gingerly I removed your hands Not wanting to know of your plans Once again I listened to my thoughts’ commands No one, until too late, understands “We really ought to end this game,” I muttered, feeling kind of lame You ignored my words, staring intently at my slender frame Over and over again you only thought of my name “Stop!” I yelled Too long in my mind you had dwelled Against my words your actions rebelled In your arms I felt repelled I told you to let go Your tears began to flow Such passion you did bestow You were at the mercy of Cupid’s bow I softened because of this Upon my lips you gave a kiss It was something I did miss Yet still I felt the urge to hiss You pulled me close I became engrossed No one could diagnose Feelings this grandiose I had a decision to make My heart began to quake The kiss I suddenly did break “Your hand in marriage I will take” I was lifted off the ground In glee you did bound In kisses I was drowned By the new husband I had found
