The Darkest Garden

Yes ,but still I willed it so,

to make you whole,

to let you know,

two broken souls 

could mend again,

with love and hope and yes,

a friend.

was I so wrong to take a chance?

what price we pay for true romance.

I poured my love out on your 

wounds,

spoke in tongues

of ancient runes,

burned with flames in 

passions throes,

planted seeds

now see what grows.....

our offspring

is the afterbirth

of two who cannot

claim their worth.

parched and shriveled

meant to die,

but still I know 

I had to try.
