A sad love poem about two people who are unable to love each other because it is wrong |
Out in the darkness of the night Beyond the light that seems too bright That stops the wrong and supports the right Is the life inside them burning and throbbing Her face reflects the love concealed His face so real she yearns to feel She yearns to peel this cocoon and let go of the wheel That she has been striving to turn all her life Painted upon lips Is the kiss that sends them into bliss But the words they want to say will not slip They know the consequence So the moon provides the curtain That closes over the world so certain That this love unacceptable by the sermon Is only the rotten remains of lust But now all the resistance is gone They have waited too long to be withdrawn From this place this presence of this dawn That has awakened the realization that no one else matters Kneeling on the edge of the world he is pleading For the eternal darkness outside the fleeting Moment of passion that has already begun bleeding The traits of the last goodbye The embrace they held in the quiet air Remembered the world and began to tare They weep for the fact they are not prepared And one last time he glides his hand across her cheek She kisses his eyes that will cease to seek Her in the light among the bright He yells in fury for she is fading She screams through the tears because the black is now graying He clings to her face and beholds her beautiful eyes That are squinting with the pain of the returning lies That they are not in love among the heavy folds of night That they detest the wrong and love the right The sun is returning and the safety disappearing They are mourning what they were fearing Ripped away, cut across, pulled apart The bodies wither with the exploding hearts |
