One
I sit alone in this room
Atmosphere dark and gloom
I close my eyes I ponder
Mind begins to wonder
I find myself in the woods
Alone with natures goods
The sun is high and stunning
A nearby rivers water running
Birds singing and deer prancing
Leaves dashing and shadows dancing
A peace becomes all I am
I am one with all of them
At home in this splendor
My soul becomes soft and tender
My troubles are now receded
Gods will I have conceded
My desires have no merit
For only the weak shall inherit
Perhaps alone now I must be
Whether or not I wish to agree
Mine own hand has put me here
Weakness made my honor disappear
This place plentiful and brilliant
Like nature I must be resilient
For now I will take it in
And realize how beautiful it has been
Perhaps one day I will be in perpetual peace
And maybe my pain will cease
What has brought me here
What has made myself disappear
In the end it only took one
Someone whos beauty I could not out run
All my life love was secondary
An emotion so powerful it was scary
I ignored I refused
For with that my heart could not be bruised
Through all of life tests for me
Conquered them all I still could not see
I have been challenged by the best
Still I did not fall as anyone can attest
Stood strong through all contests
And yet all feelings I suppress
Regardless of the cost
Myself was still not loss
This place teaches so much
A divinity I cannot touch
I’ve never had to come here before
But since you I cant ignore
Through everything I have beaten
All I’ve over come save for this demon
You’re the one I cannot shake
The one sensation I cannot fake
The one thing I did right
I cannot vanish into the night
Bravo you have done what nothing else could
If I could take it from my memory I would
But alas I am broken
With no words to be spoken
My iron clad façade
You put in front a firing squad
Always on guard
My soul now scarred
In the end it only took one
To make me completely undone
