Obscultations of Love (For Vandetta G.)

How could a promise so perfect ended so wrong
Where did the scream enter our song
I looked for love in you and found nothing but scorn
Why did my rose bloom changed to a thorn?

The door is closed we cannot return to fix it now
Life gives but one chance to pay our vow
Character is proven when we past the blind test
But still my heart finds here no rest

I was a fragment of all things I could have been
You a pebble worn by life's spin
Polished to the eye but worn to centerless core
We should have loved long days before.

Chilled waters and wind bruised you from center to edge
And I, broken, all privileged
Denied, had edges too sharp and jarring at trust
Had bandage only for my disgust.

The pain of lacerated manhood brimmed my care
Forgive the cries I did not hear,
Forgive the shrapnels of my fear. T'was the blame
I did not understand. I was lame

And should have known to accept the fault is to right
The wrong, halt the sorrow of night
And be for you strong, a man to bear the burden
Uplift the load from the laden.

I bled there bile for each wrath structured sentence spilt
Like daggers in me to the hilt
O God, forgive me too, this love uprooted when
We both brittle wilted as friend.
