Click here'Siren', they called me,
pointing at me like a witch
or a lusty harlot,
about to be stoned.
'Siren!', they shouted,
faces enraged by my sins,
their voices hardened by hurt,
their dignity bruised by emotion.
'Siren!!', they branded me,
the label burned deeply into my body,
and deeper into my mind
by the love-turned-to-hatred.
Them, I could ignore;
they were but passing faces,
memories of idleness-
that perhaps, truly earned me the name.
But you-
hurting you was never the plan;
I knew only that I loved you,
but coule not give myself as you deserved.
You- you knew the accusations;
loved me despite my warnings,
cherished me though I begged otherwise.
You gave me your heart in trust.
'SIREN', I scream in my mind-
I have drawn you in, dashed you on my shores;
crashed your ship in my tumult,
dashed your hopes on my stone.
'SIREN!', I beat into myself!
I should have let you pass!
I loved you though I shouldn't have...
And now I have lost you- to hurt, to hate.
My tears fill the ocean around me,
this Siren on her rocky isle...
Hurting you, my blinded love,
was the least of my desires.

duddle146over 17 years agoUnable to be what the love of her life wishes her to be ~ she waits on the shores of Nevermore.
LeBrozover 17 years agoPain infliction is so easy
It's what most folks do best ~
All you need do is be stupid
Keep the brain as mush
And let all feelings be crushed...
