Vide Cor Tuum
O Joy, what have I in living
For we formed a poetic saga
Lovers we were to remain
But we departed as enemies
Too many rhymes ridden with
Pretentious prose
O Dear, were I not blind to it
But to once more gaze upon your fair face
I had sworn you from my mind and
Cut out our act from this filmed memory
I remember not you smile
Or thy pretty words
O Love, I see your heart
Self-absorbed polaroids
Could not capture your lies
Any clearer than my
Subjective gaze, but
I, I forced my verse
And tale on your story
O Dear, and now I see me
-------------
Vide cor tuum - I see your heart
