Her Breathless Eyes

Last image I sought was your breathless eyes, Fighting in fear against the strongest current. The force of your love for a Godless man. I have watched you fall bloody on your knees, Tears careening down your swollen cheeks. Saw you last as you bent your head, looking to the ground. Remembering you like a Queen on her throne, stronger than all oncoming armies bent on war. A force to be reckoned with; A place where my heart belonged. Now you sit in the dust while I tend your broken heart. And wipe the waste of human desperation away. Last image I sought was your breathless eyes, Fighting in fear against the strongest current.
