INAMORATA

Loving uncontrollably, having your heart broken and having to let go.

INAMORATA

I've lost my heart to you before I even met you.
Tied by an invisible thread, never too far,
I've always wondered where the better part of me lied.
Two bodies, one unconquerable soul,
People always said we never fit the mold.
Egotistic, pretentious critics, cynical at best.
But were they wrong or we too blissful and naive?
I loved you, you know I did.
I gave you my heart, my soul.
For you, I would have knocked down the Berlin wall.
And then what?
Sad brown eyes detract from your quivering lips,
Your actions told through movie stills.
I'm not a beggar but I'll dirty my knees,
Just don't say a word. Don't say it please.

“We're through.”

Michele de Nostredame come to my aid,
Please tell me your quatrain foretells my pain.
It didn't have to be this way!
I shall tell her I will see it through,
There is no one else I'd rather be with than you.
When we were miles apart, thoughts of you warmed my heart
And the time we spent together, I found happiness.
In your arms I would have stayed forever.
I need answers but you don't seem to care.
My heart's been shut and I'm locked away in it.
No longer a prisoner of rapture,
My tears have turned this cage into a rustic mare.
I stab the flesh in hopes to feel,
Shattered and broken, emotions just won't bleed.
Red curtain has been drawn and our story needs to end,
But I refuse to concede, I'd rather end up dead.
You still won't answer my questions!
Why do you hate me so much?
I curse whatever Gods may be that I even met you,
I will break the wings of the angels that brought you,
If I have to suffer so will everyone else!

Please forgive me. I denounce what I said.
Learn to love and love true at my expense.
You will always be the one I cherish.
The seasons will pass and before long we will perish.
I hope the angels remain kind and lend me their wings,
If only for a while.
Because I will long to see you again.
Being with you, always felt like heaven.

This almost plays like an opera. The initial soft words of love, the sudden burst of pain, the coming to terms of the protagonist with his anguish, the burst of anger, and apology, and it ends on a heavenly note. I must say, this is rather well thought!
You have chosen your words really carefully, to express what you feel in a heart-rending way. I can find no fault with them. Great, great job!

[Crowley]

Tough for sure when that one we think of as perfect slips through our fingers and we can't figure out why and we can't seem to get over them, their smell, there touch, the way they breathe at night, the playful smiles and everything that made them perfect. Why can't it just be reciprocal. This bleeds with longing my friend, and it is very well put making valid points without rehashing the same one. One line that does not make sense to me was "sad brown eyes detract from your quivering lips" why would they detract from that? Just a thought. I really liked this. Nice job.

You were really hurt by this person. This is a very well written piece, and the meaning and emotion to it stand out clearly. A job well done!
