Crimson Promises: a Tale Hidden In Words- Christen Kuikoua
In your smile, a sparkling gem, you shone so bright,
A beauty, a vision, a radiant light.
My heart awakened, a poet's dream unfurled,
You, the inspiration, the center of my world.
As friends, together we found our way,
In your laughter's echo, my heart would sway.
In the classroom's embrace, our souls took flight,
I, the master of your emotions, day and night.
Yet, in the midst of our days so sweet,
Love's tender whisper remained discreet.
One night, I dared to craft a love's pure theme,
And in the verses, you became my cherished dream.
With a crazy plan, I sought to share my heart,
To express a love that had become a work of art.
But fear crept in, not of love, but of losing you,
Afraid of losing the inspiration that was so true.
When my confession came, your shock ran deep,
Vulnerable, I stood, secrets no longer to keep.
Your response cut deep, like a dagger's cruel thrust,
Leaving my heart shattered, my dreams turned to dust.
Tears flowed freely, the morn of my heart was born,
In the silence, the echoes of a love forlorn.
In the wake of your departure, my world was torn,
Stuck in a cycle, in which my heart was worn.
Summer's warmth arrived, my feelings still ablaze,
A letter, a heartfelt plea, in the sun's gentle rays.
But your response lacked emotion, a frigid sea,
Leaving me with a sense of love's final decree.
I searched for new friends to fill the void,
But none could replace you, the dreams we'd once enjoyed.
In this never-ending cycle, my heart remained askew,
For you, the one I still adore, but cannot pursue.
In the garden of my heart, your memory does bloom,
A love that lingers, like the sweetest perfume.
Though I can't have you, my feelings remain true,
In this poetic tale, my love for you shines through.
