A Final Rhyme For My Beloved

One by one and side by side the pieces fell
To the deep blue sea, dying and drowning for true denial
Our Dreams, victims cheering the rip of a shot gun shell
Hope’s downward spiral now resembles a depraved wish in a well
There are no more tears, left for you here
Faith took the last flight from despair
Years I surrendered for a fraction of sunlight
Spent on the quiet madness in a dark night
The Lies you told so devotedly keep their sweet smell
Your “Truth” here has enough power for a shortcut to hell
This heart you chose to destroy so discretely
With the bloody hands you hold so neatly
Is Broken but still Beautiful, clearly
Love and hate, my essence still feels them freely
The crooked climb you made so distinctively
Dances with descent as you go steadily
This my beloved is your end completely
A fathom deep is yours to dwell and remain
Take our future with you, it's empty now like a chain
And one last gift I cannot refrain
The blame you gave, neatly wrapped in vain
Now your fall matches your climb
I will take what’s mine
Leaving you with NOTHING, exposed with one last Rhyme


Terry D’Arcy Ryan
