No love like yours

You were dressed in a midnight blue Hooded cloak, the full moon an apparition Of your face. I fell in love with the eternal abyss of your Heart and pondered upon the fists you clenched Fiercely only to see them abruptly disappear Into the thickness of my body and surroundings Leaving an indelible mark engraved upon my Sullen carcass. I remember trying to contain you as though you were A wild fire burning bright in a bleak winters night. Nothing could. You showed hue's of manipulation, and it seared My cranium. Pain was a friend I didn't want or need, But I took my lumps, believing I deserved it, You thought so too. The lies you spake against me broke me As though I was a vase falling off the perch Of a high shelf, shattering my skin that Was of native American silhouette. I took all this and then some more, Carrying the excess baggage on my not So happy travels, seeking refuge, finding none. I laid down on golden beaches in the wake Of your stormy seas, drowning in the love I never wanted, but all my life, received.
