Alone in my room.

Engulfed in a cloud of gloom.

Regret is ever my doom.

Is that life until the tomb?

 ****

Those who loved us we jilt.

Those whom we love us reject.

Elusive bliss is but a flash

In a  life of heart crash.

 ****

Was I truly myself?

Had I run out of feeling

When I saw those tears rolling?

No sorry had I felt

For that blood unduly spelt.

For that callousness out dealt.

 ****

Unjustly proud did I feel

To unjuriously that Paradise seal,

To disdainfully that love abjure,

To terribly my loneliness ensure,

To off those caring throbs steal,

To foolishly strive a singularity endure.

 ****

Void has been since she went.

Amock that has my feelings sent

In an aborted quest for an elixir to heal

My heart short of feel.

 ****

Cruelly did I dismiss

The love today I miss.

So strangely did I will

My ever tormenting standstill.

****

Her angelic countenance I slashed,

Heedless of the tears she dashed.

Manly arrogance did I show

To a wingless heart sunk so low.

Cryingly begging she entreated

My fading humanity now depleted

 ****

Eerily unfeeling I was

To that distraught heartly cause.

Out of tears she run,

Nothnig for me than fun.

Ahead I went inadvertent

Of the dim future awfully latent.

 ****

And now at a crossroad I stand.

Bereft of a single caring friend.

Her bemoaning souvenirs I strive to flee

To keep my hideous feat out of see.

Yet, mortifying contrition is what I got

For what a cruel soul once begot.

 ****

No alleviating forgiveness is reachable

For a torment as yet unforseeable.

In a limbo I am exhausted to proceed,

With only remorse to my heart feed.

The sky would my mourning surpass,

For a haunting shame out of class.

 ****

Away with no return she flew,

After her hopeful dreams I strew

After her innocent heart I slew

After shattering our oneness of two.

 ****

To what despair I would  sink no clue.

In a life where friends soo few,

Where solely heartbreak is true,

Where her poignant absence is ever anew.

 ****

Hopeless another I seek

In a world strangely turned bleak,

Before my soul gets dimmer,

Before my heart loses its glimmer.

Alas, eschewed I am at the corner

In a world where I became a foreigner.

 ****

No longer at home do I feel,

Even to myself I lost appeal.

Oblivion would my heart seal,

To ensure my perpetual ordeal.

As though I forever appear

Somebody one day would get near.

 ****

Afore an appalling past.

Ahead a loneliness to last.

For now, an agony steadfast.
