Killed Dead (pt.10)

Clothed in pearl, had lips of scarlet
She was ocean breeze 
"My name is Pearl." she said 
My heart was killed dead
My soul...my soul

Ocean spray of loveliness
Her core was angelic and pure
Opulent in sweet design, the passion

Soft beauty, so demure

I was wrapped in chains, in my mind

In my heart was a tempest

Emotions were churning

As my eyes locked on her

Her apparent desire burning

But, then I remembered...
there was someone waiting at home

Eloise, clothed in night wear

I made sweet promises, she believed with tears

Now manifested were my fears
Will I lose? What direction to choose? 

I take such a risk, even with thoughts

Thinking of ways to win her

I relented to lust dressed as desire

Two hearts were on fire

Pearl wanted promises
The tempest in me was now seen

I would have to choose my queen

Eloise, my promises are null and void

Then she appears...

Enraged, she produced a weapon

The instrument of my demise

"Why?!" she said simply

With hellfire in her eyes

I looked into the gun barrel aimed at my heart

How quickly our heaven fell apart
"How can this be?!" I said
How can true love be killed dead

How could I fall like a stone so fast?
Pearl, you have killed me

Why did you breeze into my life, only
to create a tempest, a turmoil

My world was Eloise

Love was why the world turned
Lust was why my heart churned

...in a confused song of romance

Declaration of love was futile
"Let's go home." I pleaded
Unmoved, Eloise said goodbye
The time has come to die

But, my love will live forever...
She will look back and remember
The world we had
