Burnt Essences [A Story of Stale Love]

Dear Soulmate. How could You.

_________

Dear soulmate.
Why would you ever put away,
My burning amber flame,
Because your fire, I feel, is burning out.
.

And after all our memories,
With moments.. so divine, they just...
Etch my soul in your constellations, babe.
Don't go. One more time, just hear me out.
.

I'm a freedom lover. So are you.
You are this Air I can't let out.
So free shall we be, together. So hey?
What makes you Still? Why do you doubt?
.

One more time, let's fly babe,
Take me to that wishing well again.
And let me find my old stone, hmm?
You throw one in. I'll take mine out.
.

God says we humans are sinners,
And so, a sinner of course I may be.
But the worst of sins is not Vanity, babe.
It is your name that I still shout.
.
Your goodbyes were always hellos,
You thought I couldn't read between the lines.
I'll come back even If I die, babe.
There is no boundary Love dare defines.
.

This pure white canvas, That I once was,
Now Scarlet by your hands, oh fiend.
That I underestimated what you could do with hearts.
You mastered in gory designs.
.

A dark fallacy.
A blood red tale.
A mix of the setting Auburn bay,
All Gray. And Black. And Lime.
.

I was your moon, Once. Hah.
And I gave to you peace beyond rhymes.
And Bright as I was, I am now setting.
A newer Sun for you now shines.
.

In this World and Prison Combined.
There was an unread story of mine.
You could've read me pageless, babe.
But this is a love story more refined.
.

That in this cave of darkness, Dear soulmate.
Why would you put away the flame?
Did you want me to light it up, again?
Did you need me there to stay?
.

In every Rain and Mist, Dear soulmate.
I remember that priceless moment still.
Where I came back to give you happiness.
In the bracelet I gave away.
.

But Alas in this shifted story.
There is more I've lost than you gained.
That I to you gave all my heart, babe.
And you tossed it all away.
.

Every love story must be sad, I guess.
To newer lessons, they pave the way.
And every lover has lost a part, I think.
A heart that's tossed away.
.

This dark fallacy.
This blood red lie.
We call it love while it laughs,
And kisses us goodbye.
.

That maybe I should still be thankful,
To you and your Wicked lies.
That Dying that I was, in your love, babe.
.
By leaving,
.
You've resurrected me alive.
.

So Listen Love, It is I.
Who shall stop this torment tonight.
That you may have laughed but now it's me,
Who'll be kissing you goodbye.
.

And you Girl? You have your choice.
Let it echo in you far and wide.
That Either Be dissolved in your Sin.
Or be absolved and come back and try.
.

So that our world that we constructed,
May still stand solemn with pride.
And may your skin untouched, one day.
Caress me forever till we die.
.

In Love and War and Politics.
Everything may be fair, But I.
Shall not have my Love defied.
Only, Untouched shall you be mine.
Only Untouched shall you be mine.
