my beloved

Sudden drops of rain

Drain out of heart

and mind can do nothing

but smile

And hope that those sweet bitter memories

pass and come

and gently squeeze us to remind

and rewind the past

bring us to our happy place

elemental love

certainly not worth the

disgrace and humiliation you face

but why

all I did was try

try to love you the best way I could

and all you wanted me to be a dead soul

walk around

with an enchanted pendant

fly and high I go

with every passing minute

my soul disappears into the black hole

and the day shall come when I am nothing

but just a form of nothingness

hanging from the ceiling of

my one bedroom flat

a letter atop the desk

handwritten

a love letter to let you know

I had always loved you

my beloved
