Among the Broken Ones

1. Mythical

I know you were
a mythical creature
although what kind
I am not sure.

Were you the Sphinx
of time immemorial
who captured me
with your eloquent charm?

Or perhaps you were the unicorn---
a pure, innocent one
for you had enticed me with your grace
making my heart run.

You could also be the phoenix
and our love were the flames
'til you turn it into ashes
and you were reborne---
someone else.

But it could have been your Medusa heart
made of stone, that did it
when I said 'I love you'
you just left me all alone.

All I know is that
what we had was magical
of that I was so sure
for it was holy,
it was great
though like all legends
it could really have happened
or it was just a myth.
