Romantic Vilification



Romantic Vilification

Remnants all around me, I’m the wrecker
Castigate myself, I flagellate my soul
Hearts on the floor, filled with emotion
There’s no love or broken promises, only destruction

For some love is a story of roses and light
For me it’s a stormy, dark winter’s night
Loves light either refracted or bright
Therein resides the truth of sight

To see something as one is a soft kiss
To witness all its pieces, brings misery and ugliness
What decides a view that can’t be chosen?
Deep restless yearning for satisfaction known

For those like me love turns on the smallest key
Refined over and again in romantic glee
Reaching for that ideal is destruction of the good
It takes someone special to make me see not trees but wood
