I took all those letters of love,
the poetic verse I’d composed,
I wrung every emotion from within,
every feeling I could never comprehend.
Every nerve exposed
in my own flowing prose
and I dripped it onto pages
I knew I would never send.
Because I fear if my
dreams come true
your nightmares would never end.
Sworn to secrecy,
I swore to keep my
thoughts locked in tightly within me,
To never let them see the light
of another star burning as bright.
Not when every star
has torn apart this heart inside.
I swear to never
let the words be.
How can I release something
that could mean
the end of you and me?
When you realise
I see every bit of beauty in you
and only the beast in me.
I see tales of fantasy
where one kiss from my lips could
make your sun eclipse
and send you into a deep sleep,
a hundred years at least.
a wonderous princess slumbering away
restlessly, whilst time takes its toll on me.
I hold them in, these
thinly veiled words
that fly too close to the sun,
too easy to discern
that you are the one
who is burned red
upon my skin,
the tattoo I’d inked
in my own bloodshed dreams.
The sin I’d make
a million times
If you would just hold me
like I want to hold you.
I made myself a promise
to never let another
heart break mine,
whilst I also pledged
to never let my love
take me on any fanciful rides,
to never see the stunning
insights of a powerful mind.
I swore to never let anyone inside,
because I only had so much
of me I could provide
but now I know that
well is infinite
and now only fear stands
with his arms crossed
blocking my stride.
I accepted the curse
placed upon me,
I took it wilfully,
never wanting to feel the pain
of another lost memory,
another heartbeat I listen to
as it fades into yesterday.
Took this curse but now I know
that If you picked up your pen
and wrote words of love and lore,
a verse of hope, I’d fall
even deeper than I’ve ever fell before.
The curse would be lifted,
like a phoenix of love,
I’m sure.
