Lyrical

Here's a poem, cause I haven't penned any for a while

Unseen, unknown, you hide your heart
Placed it deep inside the dark
Resisting Cupid's loving sting
Afraid of what it might bring

"Love" you scoff, "And what more
Will I have to suffer for?
Love and pain and hurt and hate?
That is what I must abate?"

But I cry out, "'Tis not true!
Love is not that ghastly hue
You have colored it to be
It lets you grow! It sets you free!

Tis a wondorus oath between good friends
No fight or tear love cannot mend!
If you let it take your heart
Joy and peace are not far off!"

You glare at me with disdain
"Is it worth all that pain?
Of poisoned words and tainted lies
To suffer and hurt then bid good-bye?"

I reply, with great haste
"This one life, do not waste!
Tis better to have love and lost
Then to curse your tombstone's frost!"

Your lip curls, in disgust
"Why do you make all of this fuss?
What do you care if I'm alone
Till I'm buried 'neath the stone?"

I smile at you, depsite your words
"Because, pretender, you haven't heard
A single word that I have said
Your mind's awake but your ears are dead!

I love you, you foolish man!
See this ring upon my hand?
We took an oath to be true
And for forever, I'll love you."

In silent shock you gaze upon
Your own ring you thought gone
And with a guilty smile on your face
You take me in with full embrace.

"I thought wrong" I heard you speak
The words themselves, they left me weak
"That's okay..." I whispered close.
More beautiful we were than dancing prose.

That's that. It took me like thirty minutes, give or take five. It's good. I think I'll print a copy and keep it with me...
