I am cursed,
Every moment of my existence
I am plagued with unpleasant dreams,
Fantastic notions of betrayal, disloyalty.
I cannot seem to life this heavy load
From off my shoulders,
And in my disparity
I find myself betrothed to despondency;
Ignorance is creping upon me
And I have no urge to push it away --
I’d rather be lost in indifference
Than immersed in the knowledge
I cannot bear to know.
I have kissed another’s lips tonight;
The creature, nameless, and without
A face to recognize.
His sweet aroma is not his own,
And I am flooded with somber acknowledgement.
So dimwitted was I
To believe the words of a mere mortal;
Not even the gods made good on their promises.
What was I to expect from just a man?
Confusion swirls around me --
I bear nothing but my heaving heart,
Drag along the bondage of emotions and humbleness --
Pride has lost its face in this realm of mine. |
Submission Name: I Am Cursed...
