Mon Couer
For those of you used to my pretty up beat poetry, this might weird you out. It was sparked from a mixture of some dark dreams and even darker memories. I'm not going to name the people it's for. You know who you are. Please excuse the improper french grammar.A pause, a breath, a feeling
Maybe this isn't right
The iron will returns
My brand is my own
Why stop?
I've come so far.
*
And yet..
*
Here I find
All that I've left behind
Mon couer, m'amore...
*
The only solace I could see
From this world of insanity
A crimson tide of suicide
Loss bled from each cut
Just one...
Is never enough
*
Here I find
All that I've left behind
Mon couer, m'amore...
*
It's too easy to let go
To drop pain for swift release
But something stops my hand
Above all the way
A crumpled letter, a battered book
A photograph of us...
*
Here I find
All that I've left behind
Mon couer, m'amore...
*
Where did all the dreams go
Of inspired fantasy?
What of the childish whimsy
You called forth in me?
Tears start to fall
Where did I go wrong?
*
Here I find
All that I've left behind
Mon couer, m'amore...
*
The frame smashes against a wall
Shattered glass lies all around
In these walls of mirrored sound
Drowned by cold reality
My bloody heart sinks
God only knows
what holds me up now.
*
Some are born to sweet delight
I am bound to endless night
And still...
*
Here I find
All that I've left behind
Mon couer, m'amore...
*
Pourquoi moi?

Pourquoi moi?
