Drowning in pools of mezmerizing blue-green

I gasp for air in vain, and dream of escaping hell

I instead fell short of love so pure, so serene

As my heart shatters once more, I can hardly yell

Until the day you realize at last

The beauty with you

And how my heat beats fast

Quicker than herse, a vicious love untrue

Perhaps, as an outcast, I seldom fit in

Does it render my love worthless?

Or make my heart as hallow as tin?

As desired, I'll walk away and try to need you less

Just remember the countless days and love for you I'd invest

Many years from now, when I am no longer second-best

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
