Love Slain

I swallow my words and sever my thoughts, The guilt in me opens its eyes, I run from you, I hide from you, That one blessing was a curse in disguise, For you throw yourself onto your knees, And your cries touch my empty soul, "Love me," you say as I walk away, My heart as heavy as stone. Two star-crossed souls so different apart, Yet unified by so much alike, She was a dreamer and held onto hope, While he knew it could never be right, So in silence she suffered for her love, For two vibrant hearts could change, But was it not to be? What was fate against? I hear you call, calling for me, You can't bring back time, And though I wish it weren't so, Your heart can never be mine, This love just can never be, And with your head in your hands, I leave you silently. Her bloody tears soaked the ground, Staining it red and black, A mark of the hand that slayed, For it was burning inside her too long, But never more again, And thus it drove her to her grave, A life extinguished by love.
