A Drink Too Naiive (02/10/2006)

Your eyes tell me a story,
Of a person w/ a secret,
Written over your face,
I wish to ask,
Yet, I shan't pry,
For if I lost you,
My heart would break in two,

You are confused,
I can see,
You do not know,
How I can love,
One such as thee,

We are here,
I clutch your small hands,
Tears flood my eyes,
My vision blurs,
You give me a smile,
You say,
"I promise to return,
My head needs to roll from they gutter,
From which it fell when I saw you,
I will never forget this love I fell towards you."

Over two years later now,
On the news,
A brunette,
Could it be you?
Yes!
Happiness fills me,
Until I realize,
Yet you said you would return and never forget,
Time was too strong,
Two years too strong,
You forgot me,
My love,
I will always love you,
Let this poison in my drink,
Calm my mind and speak to me,
It burns my throat,
As I swallow,
"Farewell my love"
I whisper,
My voice barely audible,
A clone it seems,
From the t.v.
Collapses beside my body,
I feel surprised,
You did not forget,
You were a minute too late,
I was a drink too naiive,
Taking a knife,
You press its tip to your wrist,
You slice it down,
And fall atop of me,
I know for a fact,
Our paths will cross once again,
My eyes growing tired,
They fall shut,
To never open again,
For we both stood beside each other,
At deaths door,
Forever and forever,
I will love you,
Forever and ever,
I will always remember you.
