Love Lost

29 2 2
                                    

hearts are pounding, beating, broken
by the wayside

oh! how I loved you
when your soul was on fire
for the Things I Could Never Explain
and when your being
writhed under my touch
bled in my presence

but i know You all too well
though Your lips sing my praises
we both know who is mortal here
and Who Is Not

your Smile is as crooked
as the morality you lack
and for that crook of a Smile
I fell
   and I fell
      and I fell
         until there was nothing left of me

but the love I lavished upon you still burned brightly within
the corpse I had become
you drank it all up
until you'd had your fill

and after I'd fallen for you
after I'd sacrificed myself for you
after I'd died for you

you kicked me to the curb
BECAUSE I WAS TOO imperfect FOR YOUR PERFECT SELF
