Spoken

I told you
from the start
this could never be
Yet you refused to listen,
embracing tragedy.

Words cluster
and syllables tangle,
awaiting to be spoken.
Innocent lines
prelude to
imagined times
nestled in your arms.

But subtle alarms
alleviated no harm
as you relentlessly pursued.
Stumbling recklessly
into the chasm
of the Heartbroken and Subdued.

The truth was sung
long before entry
into the point
of no return.
Even bursting lungs
could not cause your sentry
of guidance to yield at what you yearn.

My letters tasted bittersweet
upon your thirsty lips--
Disappointment must be
drunk slowly in sips.

Foolishly, you gaped,
draining vowel after vowel.
Internally, you shaped
a nightmare meant for me.

Pouting and Plotting
Retching and Rotting
Your heart began to spew.
Raw revenge--
the call to avenge
ripe and overdue.

And so you raped
with silence
and numbing crafted words
spouting off a page
written to be heard.

But boy, your words are twigs
against my limber branches
And my limbs know the way
to these avenging dances.

Release your wooden spear
and surrender while you're here.
'Cause I will always have
the upper hand
to the boy of Never Land.

This is somewhat dark yet absolutely beautiful! It seems as though someone is madly in love with someone who doesn't want to be loved (unrequitted love). The flow was superb...like water rolling off of a deltoid leaf. I was intrigued with ever line. The last verse was definitely my favorite:
Release your wooden spear
and surrender while you're here.
'Cause I will always have
the upper hand
to the boy of Never Land.
This was awesome! Keep exercising your gift!
