All I wanted was paradise
For your brown brows,
To twinkle towards me
But did you give a dime?
Did you give me time?
Even a chime of your clock!
Didn't you look past my dying eyes-
Didn't you cut me dead?
With words piercing me to pieces,
With swords reliving dead scars,
Didn't you once
Yearn to please my peace?
Didn't you cut me dead?
With smoked quartz over your eyes
With a sweet tongue that,
Lashed me with crude words
To insult my wounds,
To assault my naive self
Don't you know that,
My steel heart-
was once flesh for you,
Don't you know that,
My wounds still hurt-
as fresh for you!
Why do you want me dead,
Yet the necklace on your chest
With a medallion between your breasts
That I bought for you,
Had a picture of us
That painted a thousand words of romance
That on that day,
Even without a word
Your heart took a solemn opine,
That I'd be always next to your heartbeat
Beating the drums to our song
Our love song crescendo
Or
Did you forget to remember,
That that the few times
we had for romance
Was worth,
A thousand dimes of the Romans?
