The Swansong For the Forelorn

 

Many, many moons ago I devoted you all I had

With a simple promise of new light, new happiness, new life.

But the darkness fell upon us with a single blast

With the unfaithful pleasure, with the pure lust.

In the middle of fake joy and passion, I got lost,

You could say I was completely blind.

Many, many moons ago I decided with a heavy heart

That it all was my fault, it was my demise.

But I refused to believe how a person can pretend

For so long unnoticed as if I was the only one playing this sad tango.

With all of my pure intentions, I believed that one can change…

All they need was to love them harder,

As if I breathe for two not one, as if I dream for two, as if it was enough.

Many, many moons ago I have granted the permission

To someone so beloved and he destroyed me.

And I hated how that person made me feel, how unwanted I was.

Many, many moons ago my joyful self was stained with shame

And turned down the flame of the cheerful being!

Drowned in sorrow,

Poisoned with lies,

Completely forlorn,

Left in pain...

Now many moons and suns have passed,

My soul has changed.

Now the light is gone for good,

I have turned it into a blackness,

Demons roam around my soul,

They called it eternal pleasure house,

My hell has turned into a comfy home,

No one else tortures, I command.

No angels are allowed, it’s an emotional desert.

And curses are my poetry of long forgotten love,

There is no desire to turn it back to what is used to be.

Let me bring back your nightmares as you have helpfully done to me.

Don’t say you feel sorry, emotions like this are like a weed for your well-being.

Don’t say you feel sorry, because we both know you are not.

In the end what used to be my weakness is now your eternal hell.

I can dance on your feelings like a feather lost its course

But in the end, I am the one winning the stupid love game.

I see through your deception as if I have made it for you

Now your strengths are your weaknesses 

And I am the one who call the quit.
