Love Poem: Torment

Torment

I sit here with my torment, 
chewing on my trident
wondering where our love went.
 
I have tried to repent, 
but cannot get your consent
I feel you are hellbent,
And filled with too much resent.

I wonder what is the percent
Maybe it is only a fragment, 
of all the hours I spent,
Waiting on your comment.

The heart you wanted me to make,
Is in my chest called heartache
I am afraid it will break,
And can never be a keepsake.
It might as well be fake

If only there could be a retake
Maybe even a remake,
Of my love oh how I ache
It’s getting close to daybreak
And I am still awake

The air now so hard to intake
Wish I were at the lake
And there drown all my sorrows
and I know you wouldn’t appose
I can feel your deathblows

Guess that is how it goes
When true love no longer grows.
