Forever
Romance eliminates division.
A gifted partner to listen.
Love seemingly present in full.
Confused from the tempest’s pull.
Rule of Thumb: Never look a fool.
Eternal soul mates today.
Yet a mere three year stay.
Vows unfulfilled.
Contract distilled.
Ethereal Mountain to Hellish Hill.
Cherished independence, but a heart’s demand.
Desire for dependence, and now an overdue reprimand.
And then an unfortunate self-loathing; exile in dismay.
Where’s the hopeful light, a romantic incentive to pray?
Needs so long ignored; in shame, no prayer to say.
Is it a natural instinct to seek a companion?
Or is it a defense mechanism, a social compassion?
Ultimately, results of a detrimental fashion.
A prized domestication sunk to the world of nether.
Left without a soul sincere to believe in forever.
