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
