[hometext] => The unrequited love of a hypocrite trying to give in. Trying to hide love. But in the end, it kills her spirit and the spirit of her love... ...this is quite complicated. I can't explain this poem in such few words......
[bodytext] => Awoken by shame beaming into my room Forsaken am I--- ---Attempting to hide my sombre hue Dreaming of silence in the dead of night Tasting the bitter-sweetness of defeat Glaring at the shrewdness of victory I have lost this war Fought in vain Peace has become my pain Defeated by the one whom I love Affrays heap themselves onto my soul I am in constant reproach Our souls fight each other in ecstasy! Victory was at hand --- ---T'was my destiny Our soul is our sword Our emotions; its sheath Yet the gleam of thy sword caught my eye Frail and unkempt from lingering toil 'Tis too late to renown this twisted dream I must keep on fighting! I musn't flee! I am losing this battle Yet winning this war... This war is endless--- ---Without cause! In vain! "Twill not avail you or I A false hope inquires the tide ---Until my love is defeated This war is nigh Your lips; white as a frozen sea Of tears glimmering in a warped fantasy From all of the years love has worn a mask I cannot witness you die! If you taste death--- ---So shall I! Goodbye, my dear love! Goodbye to the pain! Goodbye to the toil! Goodbye to the shame! This war was in vain Defeated by the one whom I love... We have both won this battle Yet we have both lost this war... Tasting the bitter-sweetness of victory Defeated by the one whom I love... Wallowing as my heart sinks into its own blood [comments] => 1 [counter] => 306 [topic] => 2 [informant] => SkYYBLu [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )
