Love Poem: The Cycle of Death and Rebirth

The Cycle of Death and Rebirth

Again I weep
Alone, entombed
I pray for relief
Still the aching continues

From love blossoms hate
Both felt with equal passion
They are but one in the same
Neither brings me any satisfaction

As if I were becoming a butterfly
Transformation begins to take place
All the flowers bloom and die
In this barren land of desolation and waste

And what I have lost cannot be recovered
I watched it diminish completely
Writhing in pain, tormented, I suffered 
With indifference, you stood by and watched me

Now you will watch, as the tables I turn
You will know what it feels like
To desperately yearn
Watch this time, indifference now mine
As I set you on fire
Leave you here alone to burn
