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
