Playing With Heartstrings
The earth, she trembles tonight
as the Gods stare down
at the destruction caused by the fates
who dared play with the heartstrings of love,
the two lovers who were said to be so envied
betrayed by faith to their God
by bigots in his congregation
and she watches as he then walks away.
Pulling her own heart farther from her
the strings stretched out between them
her faith disintegrating by his last words
but this love played by the fates, was perennial
but now too, it is only her prison
yes, now it is only her prison.
And the earth is still trembling
from the aftermath of such self destruction
and the Gods can only watch
this destruction they have caused
love and lover
"Deny me the truth from your lips"
kissing lips of blasphemy
just to keep herself alive.
Or so she says,
and she can feel the earth trembling
only to remember it is her.
