A L Ost I Ntention
I caught Her in a failed romance
I knew not what to do
I lost my mind at that first glance
She showed me something new
Yet, time did hide Her virulence
And, all Her crooked Lies
I lost the will for my defense
And, built a grand disguise
She left Me in New Hampshire's cold:
The tundra of my heart
I still could not, at once, have told
She'd tear my heart apart
I sat alone, in bold defeat
She did not even call
I'd wait for months: we'd never meet
Did She not care at all?
Once heartless, She had kissed my lips
And, told me not to leave
I drank Her death, in little sips
It's all that I'd believe
We always were a toxic pair
Our hearts went west and east
Brown eyes and hair were oh so fair
She's Beauty and the Beast
Years later, she still lied again
In contradicting ways
I felt Her every now-and-then
Beside a feckless gaze
When I returned, into the Cold
(As my late mother left)
She came to me with words of gold
Then, left again, bereft
With plots of Lies to draw me in
For Her, my heart was torn
Her words were filled with loss and sin
They pelted me with scorn
Her voice still haunts my better dreams-
I hear Her scream my name
If Love is just not how it seems:
Why did I feel the same?
She told me we should meet, in time
But, I will not return
I once fell for Her pantomime
Then, had no where to turn...
