Darkened Romeo

Why has your soul blackened?

Why has your heart hardened?

What exactly has gone wrong?

And sadly you let it drag on for so long... 

I wish time could turn back,

when the skies were bright, not black. 

Now the ravens rule my skies... 

And the doves darkened by painful lies;

What is the wrong I have committed? 

But my life I have already submitted...

To you. 

Even though you haven't gotten a clue-

The truth is my heart stays the same.

But now, its in much more pain. 

Because of you.

My Darkened Romeo. 

My Fallen Angel. 

And I recall, you used to call me your Angel. 

Who was sweet and smelled of flowers. 

I believed your lies with much convincing. 

But now-those beliefs are drifting. 

I loved you, and I still do. 

No matter how wrong you may seem...

My heart will always belong to you. 

Keep it, if you will. 

Throw it, if you must. 

I shan't blame you. 

I blame myself.

For hurting you...

Providing such pain. 

And deceit.

So much hate in your heart. 

My Darkened Romeo... 

Where fore art thou light? 

Light up my life once more-and stay... 

I shan't forget the time we met-

When we embraced.

Professed our everlasting love.

When we kissed. 

When we cried.  

And laughed.

The joy is gone. 

The comfort-

Gone...

Oh My Darkened Romeo-

I beseech you...

Warm your heart once more-

And let the Rose Quartz take its place.

To remind you of a once magical love. 

A once beautiful beginning. 

The beginning of a future. 

A future so beautiful, dreams would envy. 

Oh My Darkened Romeo-

sit by me once more, with thy dented shoulder.

And let me rest. 

While you sing your lullaby with Angel's lips. 

And never say Good bye.

How Can I?...

Good concept, a bit long. Several of the beginning verses are superfluous, and the rhyming isn't necessary. Your slant rhymes are better. I would like to see this shaved down a bit. I like the last three verses best, along with the 5th stanza. Nice work.

This sings of heartfelt sincerity, Vampanna, most can certainly relate to your conflicting feelings of disappointment and hope. Thank you for sharing such lovely sentiments, in such a lovely way.

[Siddhartha]

Ah! the darkness and desperate longing in this piece sears and tears...soars high and hits one like a boulder. punctures the heart, this one..

[Angel Bird]

Normally I'm not so much into love poems, but this one is fascinating. Strong intensity and honesty. It just crawls under one^ skin and deeply touches. There's darkness and light at the same time.
Outstanding piece!
