A Drink Too Naiive (02/10/2006)

Your eyes tell me a story, Of a person w/ a secret, Written over your face, I wish to ask, Yet, I shan't pry, For if I lost you, My heart would break in two, You are confused, I can see, You do not know, How I can love, One such as thee, We are here, I clutch your small hands, Tears flood my eyes, My vision blurs, You give me a smile, You say, "I promise to return, My head needs to roll from they gutter, From which it fell when I saw you, I will never forget this love I fell towards you." Over two years later now, On the news, A brunette, Could it be you? Yes! Happiness fills me, Until I realize, Yet you said you would return and never forget, Time was too strong, Two years too strong, You forgot me, My love, I will always love you, Let this poison in my drink, Calm my mind and speak to me, It burns my throat, As I swallow, "Farewell my love" I whisper, My voice barely audible, A clone it seems, From the t.v. Collapses beside my body, I feel surprised, You did not forget, You were a minute too late, I was a drink too naiive, Taking a knife, You press its tip to your wrist, You slice it down, And fall atop of me, I know for a fact, Our paths will cross once again, My eyes growing tired, They fall shut, To never open again, For we both stood beside each other, At deaths door, Forever and forever, I will love you, Forever and ever, I will always remember you.
