~ * A Tragic Love * ~

Drumming, drumming against my breast

The heart within us beating quick

Electric waves flow one to both

Prickling through each fiery host

Seasons change and each one grows

Priorities lead down different roads

The choices made have led us such

To find ourselves in separate homes

The drumming slowed to a steady pace

Settling into a more peaceful state

With the calm of a stable life

Rather stupidly, for you I wait

Under the strain, I’m cracking apart

For there are two members at war in my heart

One for him whom I have chosen

One for the love I turned away from

Of course, there is always a “right way”

But from that path, I tend to stray

The ache inside leads me at times

And I find it hard to keep myself safe

From the treacherous peril of what you are

Robbing from him what was yours from the start
