Tragedy In 8 Verses
He pondered at the first time he saw her
The woman that would change his world
As they first made contact he knew:
Nevermore would he suffer.
For he loved her like no one else could
She had the curse of the curves
And she captivated him with every last breath
For she had the likes of sainthood
Her words sweet as bubblegum
Hair as dark as liquorice
Angels perfected all of her
And gave her voice that you could not stay away from
For he knew she was the once
The fire and the flood that filled his blood
The sun that lighted the world
She was the air that filled his lungs
Multiple individuals craved for a love like theirs
Especially the man who ended it all
So jealous of their burning love
“I will end it, I swear.”
The damage that he would do would never be repaired
For he would take a life away
And his jealousy would turn saints into the sea
He would be sure to leave people in despair
The sound of a gun in the summer’s air
Their love was lost and gone
She would soon leave the world
Gone with no repair
The last words he heard her say
“You’re not alone
For you’ll always have a home”
As the monitor showed her last heartbeat.
