Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Quoth the Poetess- Nevermore

I left myself vulnerable
I left myself exposed
But that will never happen again
No, nevermore

I offered myself to you
I sacrificed my soul
But that will never happen again
No, nevermore

I shared secret fantasies
All the dreams I had in store
But that will never happen again
No, Nevermore

I let you in the Holy Place
Where your image I adore
But that will never happen again
No, Nevermore

I let you taste my passion
Let it soak you to the core
But that will never happen again
No, Nevermore

I gave you control of me
Gave in to your whims and more
But that will never happen again
No, nevermore

I gifted to you my body
And let you caress my soul
But that will never happen again
No, nevermore

Though I gave you all I had
And opened my heart’s door,
Though to me you were a king
Whom I lived to please and more

You did not value me aright
Nor treasure me…what’s more
I KNOW that you will long for me
Now and Evermore!

Take care, Richard Eileen Manassian April 13, 2013 at 8:23 AM Thanks, Richard. I love Edgar Allen Poe! Perhaps because he dealt with depression as I do. He had a troubled mind, yet...beauty flowed from him. Much like Van Gogh..another favorite of mine. Richard, you are very supportive. This means a great deal to me. Thank you.
