You and I
You indulged me with your filthy deceits
You anointed me with a coronal of false assurances
You took me by the hand and guided me to a land of falsehoods
And I was a complete fool for you
I swear by the sun and the moon,
And each of the stars scorching and fading in galaxies far away,
That I will never illustrate my palpable love for you again
I will not yearn for you, for you have forgotten me
The love in my heart is extinguished
Though my it beats relentlessly like a war drum
The gardens you tended in my mind
Now wither and choke from poisonous ash flung
From the den of shadows that is my soul
I will not call for you
I will torch every bridge you have ever stepped foot on
I will tear the pages that invoke your name from my book of life
I will erase any lingering nostalgia of your adoration
I will unmoor my soul from the shores of your callous considerations
I will inter my longing for you in a grave soon encumbered by the weeds of time
Should I conjure your ghost one day
I will promptly snuff that redolent manifestation
For I have torn out my anguished heart
And sown it in fertile, healing soils
