Gothic Love Poem

in this world
am i here
taken by your stride
showing me to hide
away from what i fear

distorted images
are disturbing me
letting me see
what i will be
as if a reverie

taken away to see
what had happened again to me
lifeless for the dangers taken
she was distorted in fragrent death

for the longer she kept
the longer they wept
at her body sinking into the sea
is this the fate for me

never had i seen a thing of such grace
falling away from the darkness of this world
and hated in me
i should see
still i left her be

thrashing waves taking her
my loss controling my mind
i stood and watched
as i stabbed him from behind

he'd taken her away from me
so i took a knife and showed him
the blackening world as he left this earth
and fell into hell unlike my kim

water blue as the sky
and filled with dangers
after the blood stained the sands
the water just restrained her

taking her final breathe
the light coming through the surface
no hand to pull her up
i stared at the water and saw the race

was it me holding her down
or just me not allowing her to come back
forsaken to the depths of darkness to drown
she can never take back the crown

but now do i feel better as she's died
or just hate myself more
for i could have lived with the lie
that she never actually loved me
and used me for what i could do
i gave her what i had
my heart and my secrets

blood soaks the sand
water floods the lungs
i shall never speak of this tragedy
of my love for her undone

forsaken to my just like my tongue
for i let her know how i felt
so she went away with him
and all the blood spilt

cruelty spoken to me
hating the way she took away my heart
drowning in the sea
is myself along side her
whilst we are still torn apart
