Clementia Goddess of Pity

What the f**k was I thinking it's funny truly,
for surely I drinking, Decieved so cruelly.
my brain has my heart, it's ignorance noted,
Seems from the start, on daydreams it floated.
I see now what's real, and been all along,
my heart made a deal, but not for too long.
And how I was fooled, by my want for love,
And now I've been schooled, and want no more of.
My unreal desires and outrageous notions,
sad dying fires and godless emotions.
With truths brought to light, and soul drug asunder,
for lost have I fight, with this fatal blunder.
I no longer thirst for nectars once had,
for taste thee the worst, when flowers gone bad.
The bees seem so lost, and lured astray,
and pay I the cost, on this somber day.
For where go I now, with my soul deplete,
that would me allow lick wounds of defeat,
Coil and whither into complete disarray,
foiled and bitter, unto my dismay.
For would you consort, with a wounded snake?
and lend him support for Clementia's sake?
I think not would I for fear of his bite,
I'd just leave him lie, and bid him goodnight.
I suffer alone the thoughts of my mind,
for wanting to groan, when foolish I find.
The acts that brought shame, in a time gone by,
and what I became, and where I now lie.
Sweet songs of living and those who would sing,
I find not thee gripping, feel only thy sting.

Why does faithless love linger longest and burn deepest? Can't say I was impressed with the first line. But the rest is very evocative. Well done, my friend.

Lol I couldn't quite figure out how to convey the urgency of self disgust haha I apologize I don't like it either it's a work in progress

A poem so richly eloquent and left me in awe with its flow and rhyme. A classic feel and charged with such emotion too. You write so beautifully.

I had to laugh at you kind words at first when you said eloquent I thought to myself "I used f**k in the opening line, maybe could of gone without that" but alas when writing from true emotion it's easier to be real and hope it comes off as eloquent. Thank you for your kind review.
