I See You

Not an easy thing. Subjective and birth blind Trusting all your instincts. As you read between each line Listening carefully as you engage in light discourse Watching every movement, as each word does deeply course Through the icy veins of those whose choices, have proven to be selfish, lacking in remorse. Bewitched so long ago. Breathless with each tender kiss Seduced with every evening gown, clinging softly to jagged cliffs. Unable to resist. Different lives unfolding as the distance between us grows Beauty fades. Stamina wanes away from conflict and unknowns Gazing across a table, who’s offerings are fit for all kings Your loyal subjects bow their heads in servitude As your guests so graciously received Till death do us part. And so must it be Enduring every uncomfortable moment As time takes much pleasure, twisting each thorn thrust inside Entanglements entertained with thoughts of grand conquest Blindly mislead by affections you’ve carelessly caressed Some of them dare accept invitation, only to wither while in place Just to look upon in contention. That some feelings still remain Till death do us part. And so it will be When a casket is slowly lowered, and one’s soul is forever freed
