The Daily Crow
Like the Zues to Prometheous
You’ve gifted me a cruel fate
My heart is torn, my love you hate.
A crow greets me to eat my heart,
For it to heal, then be eaten again.
My love, my pain, my shattered dreams,
You've left me lost in silent screams.
You ask if we can stay friends,
But I must pretend your words
Don’t make my heart rend.
For every day, I see your face,
The ghost of you, in every place.
Though you don't love me, still you stay,
Knowing I don’t have the power to go away.
I lock the door to my heart,
But you hold the master key,
It's a punishment I must endure,
Loving you, forevermore.
But I'll hold on to the memories,
Of the love that used to be.
And though my heart is broken,
I'll keep the love, forever unspoken.
