Love Odyssey Part 2: Viscious Cycle

So, down wooded path with her I walked, Her, of love and pain, nightmare and dream, As we went along neither talked, And quite different now did she seem. At last, she said with a sigh That made mind and heart to freeze, "I never wanted to say 'goodbye', Your name I heard in every breeze. Thought of you set this heart to fire Through potent mix of remorse and love, To hear you now is like angel choir, Yet in my heart does dagger shove. Many a day I spent from you, Only brooding over what I'd lost, These eyes wept sorrow's bitter dew, This heart grew cold as morning frost. All along what I knew Was losing you I feared most, If I cut off before the cue Perhaps I'd save us heartache's ghost. So, I let go of what I loved, Such pain it brought to cut you loose, You kept up as I struck and shoved, Forcing use of heart-breaking noose. Passing time with someone new, Leaving you high and dry, My joy all gone and smiles few, As you I saw in cloudy sky. There was not a day gone past, Where for you I didn't long, For you, feelings would always last, I would ache at all done wrong. Now I come to you so lowly, For you, my heart did always need, I ask now as if you're holy, That you'd love me again at this plead." There I stood, Before me, the one that haunted Me as any heartbreak should, After I she'd freely taunted. She now wanting my heart After all she'd done, Many feelings tore me apart As from heart and soul words would run. "You've not a clue The torture I've had, My life broken down and blue And mind driven nearly mad. At a time, my love was true Before you tore my kingdom down, Belief I hold in love for you Despite ever-present cloudy crown. Deeds since done I can't forgive, Not with the pain you gave, I gave you all I had to live, But now, none of it can you save. Be gone from me as before! Take this new love for me gained of late! Walk yourself to distant shore And alone, as I, face your fate." I could see her heart break, As I spoke of my desire, Her tears there shed, far from fake As her plea was tossed in fire. Turned, and away she would go, At last, my mind was somewhat eased, For now she would truly know The pain from her I had seized.
