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.

 

Reviews

[T. L. O'Neal]

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

[Angelheaded Hipster]

While you may love this person....keeping this person in your life, just so you're not alone isn't fair to you or the other person.
To keep a dead relationship going....it only causes more pain, and more problems.

[Touché Armada]

I enjoyed this, perhaps in a relative way somewhat being able to relate like I'm sure many could. Funny how we tend to hurt those we care about the most, but then its hard to hurt anyone who doesnt care. Perhaps the hurt of pushing a person away is less than the hurt of allowing them close? I'm not sure but I think there might be something in that.

It reminds me a lot of my style of poetry. I love to read things like this; concrete words to help you relate, not at all elusive.
