Passages In Ink

Passages In Ink

Being in love with you 

Feels like I’ve been played 

like a fool.

The desperation of hanging on

to something that is 

long since gone. 

Questioning all that I am 

and once was

seems to be the cause.

Disappearing beneath 

the quick sand of lies

with each fleeting look 

into your eyes.

Confiding in my soul

of the love you stole.

A love bent and twisted 

to the brink

as I write 

these passages in ink.

Every word you say is formed 

with a disguise.

Surely your words will lead

 to my demise.

I have relinquish my earthly life

 to you

Knowing my remaining years 

are few.

Does it even matter 

after all this time?

From the beginning I wondered 

if you could ever be mine.

Now like shadows in a dim light

my dreams have become slight 

Though my love for you still reins

it exists in levels of pain.

Remorse for the choices 

I’ve made

comes to me in bundles 

to be weighed.

It signifies what remains

of a heart bound in chains.

This goes right to the heart of anyone who has ever loved - which is to say, everyone, practically. You've written another wonderfully lyrical ballad. Like all lovely ballads, your verses evoke passion, beauty, and melancholy. Through it all, though, Shakespeare's truth remains. "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

Thank you soo very much.

I love the wording you used to describe what you got out of this piece.

It is true.  "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

Your time is greatly appreciated. <3
