A Shadow On Me [Sestina]

by Beautiful Forever   Oct 21, 2008


How many more tears will make you know,
That I've shed more than my fair share,
Can't you see that I've changed forever,
The simple-minded mistakes I have made,
Are you blind to the sight of pure love,
A mutual feeling we can never hold back,

There is no way we can ever turn back,
Not after we suffered so much - I know,
Eternal is this damn feeling "love",
Limited equally for our hearts to share,
Easy for a false form of hope to be made,
If only I never meant the word "forever",

Too many times have we said "forever",
For our hearts to take it all back,
Too many times have our minds been made,
Assuring a false bond we used to know,
Too many lies we have tried to share,
Playing games with a more intense love,

Why won't you accept that - I'm in love,
After you taught me how to say "forever",
I can't be the only one if we're sharing,
Eyes burning as I watch you turn back,
I ran blindly toward a feeling I know,
You ran away when my decision was made,

I'll just wave a hand to what we made,
Then forget that we ever fell in love,
I'll tell you a simple lie that I know,
Then change the definition to "forever",
I'll take every feeling I gave - back,
Then kill the breathing we used to share,

Wrong - I will embrace the memories we share,
Stealing every happy moment we've ever made,
I'll make a memento of times we can't take back,
A book of the poems I wrote while in love,
Then I'll tell you that I meant "forever",
With that soft-hearted smile you still know,

I want to turn back to the life we've shared,
Knowing you miss the future we've made,
We can not run away - our love is forever...
