I dreamt of you - you smiled at me, and I, Through tears, told you of your place in my heart, You didn’t smirk, or laugh, or even look away, Instead I was held in your arms, safe. I awake to a lonely bed, only beside me, my love, Was the dreadful stain of my weeping. So today, I will go where you cannot find me, And I will wait for you to come looking, Because I thought you would, at least, You always used to. You will never appear, but I’ll still love you, Still, like a dog, loyal to a fault. And you’ll betray me, Like the man you are. I’ll wait, Our love-birds caged, For you to want me again. I love you, finally I cry, My love is rotten, I say, Hideous, ugly, I tell you! You do not want it, For my canines will fall out of my gums as I try and scream, Through the metal bars, chained down in my cell, “I love you”. You will watch on, As i thrash, cry, screech, howl, “I love you”. And I will break through my chains, I will run to you, I will tear through your chest, and, Once I see you open, on display to me, I will caress your beating heart, I will search inside for any mention of my name, then, Whether I find it or not, I will love you enough to heal the hole I left. |
