With acknowledgments to Oscar Wilde

Poem Artwork

"Yet each man kills the things he loves"
And my love he has killed me..
And like a coward with his kiss..
He did it thoughtlessly..
 
The Judas kiss, the flattering words..
Were the weapons that he used..
Then trait'rously with tender looks..
My answering love abused..
 
My bitter tears almost fell like rain..
My heart pierced with a sword..
More sharp than any made by man..
The cruel deceiving word..
 
But in killing me so treacherously..
His own love thus denied..
The shadow dark lies rest on his own heart..
His honor too has died..
 
My world revolves from night to day..
Time passage heals all pain
But honor cannot be revived..
While I can love again.
 
 
Touche'   lol

Our ability to love anew is something that elevates us in the universe. What others do is not a reflection of us, but a reflection of they themselves...
