Our Oath

Our Oath

By

Jose M. Euvin

 

Once again

Why?

I guess I’ll always live the moment. 

I created this, and I’m the only one who could put a stop to it.

Me

The destroyer of many

Redeemer of none

I’m force to live with this curse, the moment never fades.

I’m meant to relive it over and over again.

 

I can say we are happy even though we not together.

We were never meant to be, we love to torture each other.

What is it that we want; with every opportunity at hand we chose the worse.

As much as I say it won’t happen again, I can’t take control.

 

There’s that shadow that follows me, in it lives her.

In her I live, yet in reality we’re both dead.

Dead to the world and those who care,

 Those who tried to care for us

We are the torn in the rose, which protects all beauty.

Keeping it far out of reach

Untouchable to those who come near

Never letting our guard down for one second, cause we fear the worse.

So we continue to hurt one another just to be able to feel alive.

Loving each other yet having to be apart.

That’s the rules we live by,

Our unspoken oath, and oath of silence and pain,

Which we’ve learn to accept.

I enjoyed this and it made a lot of sense. Some relationships are just not meant to be. T

[Miss Mary Jane]

I know exactly how that feels. You've struck a chord my friend. Thank you. This is a magnificant piece.

[angelina neves]

well writen and very sad...
well, i never could understand people that like to hurt each other and call it "love"... love is joy and happiness and when this goes (and it is normal to go as love is free to come and go!) we have to call it another thing, obsession, fanatism, hate...

[El-Enano]

How sad, we all can relate to this. We all been in this situation at one time or another. Is sad but true...

[R J Askew]

Perhaps this line explains a lot to me, "So we continue to hurt one another just to be able to feel alive." I have always wondered what keeps some couples locked in a hateful embrace ages after their love has died.

[Crystal]

great write. I can feel your pain, frustration, and love.

[Roy]

wow....i am speechless almost..it is such a unique way to view things..ummm..i'm impressed with how you put such tragic, seemingly empty love in such powerful poetic form...it makes me wonder...maybe it's so empty?

[Antony]

Yaooooooo, you put yourself right out there with your honesty, and the pain that is haunting to you to have to live without each other, this is so outspoken of yourself and this situation, nice writing.

you did a wonderful job of showing the reader how painful the relationship is and at the same time were able to show how strangely addictive and necessary a hurtful relationship can be. i loved the contradiction, in writing pain is always good.

[Robert Luna]

This is a powerful piece but at the same time I can't help but to feel a sadness that drips from between the cracks of the lines. Feel loneliness coursing from the words as the fact of feeling this energy of being the destroyer of so much. In the end if everything is left i destruction who or what will be there in the end to help to make a feeling of accomplishment worthy of such a life. I love tone of this piece and the way you flow with such depth and purpose. The image seem so vivid and to true for comfort.


Well Done!!!!!!

[Queen of the Damned]

Wow...this is really powerful! You have done a great job in describing a relationship gone wrong. It ends on a sad note though, the thought of excepting the oath of silence and pain.
