I hear them The tolling, wailing bells So we've come to the end The last page of an epic The silent fadeout of the silver screen The dimming embers of a massive bonfire. We've unmoored our boats from the flotilla we once knew as 'home' and 'family'.                              The end of  us We stand in the ruins Of a great building It once held the relation Of a father and daughter Of a husband and wife You set it on fire But we will not put out your flames With our tears and blood Anymore. Let the fire take away your poison And let the rain scour away every last toxic residue Of the bond we once held. This is my requiem. Perhaps one day this too shall seem like a dream.

Dying dreams.
Taking my genuine emotions, my heartfelt feelings, Grinding them under your heel, smashing them, Laughing as they are crushed beneath you, yet cruelly stealing My heart once again, without remorse, a resolute goal without resting. Why? Do you yet stand under the sky, Leading others on, yet forever saying goodbye, Simply to feel wanted, or by many desired, Or sought after, though you simply leave those in your wake shattered? Curse you. For those who you leave bereft, For all those who wept, who were left, for not realizing their worth, May you also feel that despair, even within your mirth. Remember, when others have left you alone, How there were those poor fools who reached out, To be there for you at your lowest, To aid you in your doubt, To get acquainted with thy soul, To soothe your wounds, But you turned your back, Saying "Maybe another day", still urging for their attention, even then, So, may you sow what you reap, You oath-breaker, even as you read it and weep.

Betrayal
Should I curse thee, Even as you brush me free, Without a care in the world, without a thought, Even as I lay here, wondering what I saw in you, what I sought, Is it possible, that your words were true, Or was it just your treacherous brew, Just another sly snare, Punishment for my fascination with your soul, the dreaded fare, For revealing all, for baring my wounded soul's damage without a care? Yet, as days go by, With my endless sigh, I feel that you are but one, Another fleeting sun, And even with your setting, I am but at a loss, As my heart beats for no other, my beloved.

You.
