The day she died was as tough as when you did
I was empty and still am
Destroyed by fate to the very bone
The very heart that I once opened to you
Now locked tight never to be opened again
They are everywhere
Following us until they kill us all
Suffering just like you did
For things we did not do
My body can't take it anymore
I found him,
Your murderer,
Dying, suffering, part of SPECTRE
He took my gun and shot himself
Before my madness could do it itself
The world is a dark place
Full of sadness and anger
Nothing like when you were alive my love
Bright and shining, light in life
It's a never-ending horror show
She's too much like you,
Independent and strong,
Frail and delicate like you
But even through all the shit we went through
I cannot help thinking about you
I was supposed to forget you
The day he wanted to kill me, wipe my mind
But I resisted, your voice propelling me to keep fighting
I should have died that day,
I would have been with you
The MI is nothing without her
We are getting wiped from the system
Losing our lives
Maybe for the better
Except that she is here with me
I saw you in Morocco,
I watched you cry in pain that night of torture,
Your beautiful self ripped apart at the hands of money
Your undying love confessed,
The ultimate sacrifice being made
I keep it with me,
Your name scribbled on the tape
Hearing your singing voice plead for my safety
Handing yourself over to death
To save me.
She's cold and dead to me
I don't love her like you
I try to forget but I cannot,
I wouldn't let myself
After all you suffered for me
I dare not look at the restored DBS
Sitting in my garage, shining in the dark
Your presence lingering on the leather seats,
Memories of the night you could have died
At the wheels of my car, my madness.
I regret meeting her,
Her fragility despite her strength
Too much like you
Yet nothing like you
She's nothing, bait.

Hello!
Thank you for your love on the poems! I hope you enjoy this one, centered on SPECTRE and how James cannot let himself forget Vesper. His struggle to keep Vesper with him drives me crazy. It's like she is always there but he cannot escape Madeleine. That film pissed me off because of the tape not being shown... Please comment, I want to know what you think about this.
These poems are so relaxing to write but sometimes I feel like crying when I think about it.
Thank you so much for reading/commenting/voting/sharing!
I really appreciate all comments (to which I respond) and votes as well as dedication to Casino Royale and these poems!
