Leaving

I've fought this,
Fought you
For so long

I'm not sure how to live
With out fighting
Will my heart feel
As hollow as my insides?

What will be my purpose?
Will I be any use to you?
Will my eyes turn as black
As my now barren soul?

As endless days turned into
Empty nights I tried to pretend
That promises and prophesies
Were only words

Words that could not maim
That would not damage my fragile heart
As time passed each word was like a knife.
Cold and sharp. Brutal.

As the inevitable draws closer, I see.
My path has been altered
I must walk this path of blades

Leaving behind the comfort.
Leaving behind the light.
Leaving behind you.

Bound

Hands fast bound

Binding two hearts

Circles unending

Entwined evermore

Words exchanged

Merely placeholders

Carved on hearts

Promises made

The spell is disbursed

But never forgotten

All present are witness

To a singular miracle

Two joined as one

Lies

Lies

Do promises made at midnight

Mean nothing in the light of day?

Did you not swear by look and by deed?

I believed you when you said

You would be faithful

Was it all lies?

The moonlight was so beautiful

It cast a spell over us

Made me a romantic

Took me for a fool

I think we need to take time

To reassess this relationship

Maybe we were never meant to be

Dominion

Steel under Silk,

Strength below belies pretty promises.

I love you is a powerful spell

Make me believe.

The power of your spell,

Your power.

You certainly have dominion over me.

Do you have the authority

To control the world around us?

There is no right or wrong answer waiting,

Only green/bright here

Dilemmas arise,

How are they answered, love?

If there is a hunger; how is it met?

With a purely physical proposition,

Or is the answer

Only to wait,

To learn patience, politeness, probity?
