IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN How in the world did I ever deserve this. Pehaps I should of just given her a kiss. But she was so lovely, I could not resist. I was a selfish man, filled with thirsty lust. Telling her I loved her, when I was not sure. Using her, instead of the one that was pure. I thought she'd forget me, when it was ended. Hoping that she wouldn't get mad and offended. But then she showed up, wanting more from me. Josette was my love, and whom I wanted to marry. I asked her if we could remain friends, she got angry. A foolish thing to ask, not knowing all about her cruelty. Now I lie in my coffin, because I gave more than one kiss. Sunrises, birds singing, and my human desires I now miss. Instead of the rapture I felt when I was in her eager embrace. Now chained in my coffin, she taunts me with her wicked face. By Sunsetter |

SUNSET, SUNRISE I never get to see a spectacular sunset. For I am just awakening from a long rest. And I never get to see a glorious sunrise. For I am just beginning to close my eyes. All of the colors that are now lost to me. Are only loose fragments in my memory. I remember seeing orange, pink and red. But the vibrant tones are lost in my head. I wish I could view vivid colors like before. A sunset, a sunrise, I see them no more. If only I had known I would see only night. Before I was cursed with this wicked plight. I would of watched the sunrise on that day. And the sunset, before I became this way. By Sunsetter |
