Verily Virulent Venom

O' how I long for what I have lost
How foolishly further I fell in this Folly
To boorishly incur my quell in this volley
For that which I may not have had
But at least tasted a glimpse of
Far more likely the latter in my case
Seeing as how credulously my heart dreamt
How foolishly further I fell in this folly
To boorishly incur my quell in this volley
O' how I long for that which I have lost
For this which indubitably drove me mad
Vexing vixens verily virulent venom
Perpetuating this punctuated puncturing Pisces
She was given the keys to my kingdom
I let her loose in my heart with utter freedom
Ever too deep in denial to ponder the cost
The cost of what is lost and claimed beneath the frost
Frozen memories falling to a shattering finality
Never again to feel the bent rays of a farce from a far
O' how I long for what I have lost
How foolishly further I fell in this folly
To boorishly incur my quell in this volley
To feel the bent rays of a farce from a far
Like the subtle touch of a cool breeze on a scar
A withered pleasure from long ago,
Cold, detached, no more to hold
Between our two faces those blithe embraces
O' how I loathe that which I have lost
Ever too deep in denial to ponder the cost
The cost of what is lost and claimed beneath the frost
Frozen memories falling to a shattering finality
As her virulent venom fills this commodious cavity
Where once but nevermore there was my heart
