True Love Dost Prevail
I look over towards you in this starlit sky
Your innocent glace back shows a sweet sublime.
Your tepid pools of blue tire under droopy lids
Straining to stay focused in this precious time.
Forbidden late nights and sweet stolen kisses
Our marked days together could be a crime.
We know this can’t last through all of eternity.
Playing illicit games behind her trusting back,
Acting normally as if nothing was wrong.
What we have together is something that lack
Between me and my girlfriend and daily routine -
Making sweet lover under the cover of black
This can’t last forever, we both know this true.
People begin to wonder how close we truly are
And asking around about the time that we share.
Perhaps we’ve finally taken this too far
A sweet embrace with you takes me away
To a million miles from here yet still in this car.
We then break the hug and soon I realize that
Although seen as wrong it feels completely right.
I open my longing mouth but find only silence
But words soon come along with first light.
If you are so willing, I’ll let it flow free
And profess my love to you with all of my might.
Your look of utter shock and horror makes me see
That I wish I had kept my gaping mouth shut.
A knife in my heart turns with bulls eye precision
I try to ignore the ways I’ve been feeling but
I soon come to terms with what I’ve been doing:
Treating my girlfriend as a useless little slut.
I’ve fallen out of love with who I wished to wed
And into the arms of another in her stead.
Carnal pleasure in both their adulterated beds
Lie after treasonous lie that was so easily fed
I lost my true love with the thing I just said.
It tore me apart, turned my heart into lead.
As day breaks silently, I soon take her home
While she tries in such vain to adjust her dress.
I walk her to her door, hen all of a sudden
She grabs me close to her, devoid of duress.
Her soft lips touch mine and when we finally break
She looks up towards me and softly says yes.
The storms have cleared, parting gray clouds
And finally, after so long, the sun shines my way.
To taste your luscious crimson and feel your soft snow
Held next to my strength, ‘tis truly a glorious day.
A secret no long, soon she’ll know all
What we’ve been doing. What will she say?
She’ll be crush beyond hope, that I understand
Four long years from when it did start
But the fights far too vile and frequently held:
Thrown items dodged and sharp forked tongues dart
Those words of hatred have gone much too far -
I’m sorry, dear girlfriend, but I must follow my heart.
