Terms of this Doomed Endearment

Oh, How compatible we were
The very day I noticed you,
Smiling at me, Winking ever so alluringly
Looking ever seductive
Luring me into your own fantasy world
A world I finally felt accepted in

The day we met
Oh how I remember it well
The day you took my innocence
How secure I felt
Feeling your essence
Surge throughout this body
Goosebumps, Such Goosebumps
Such a satisfying experience to say the least

How you made me laugh, Cry, Scream, Yell
How you gave me both Heaven and Hell
The perfect sphere of a bi polar romance
Hypnotizing this mind into a merry-go-round
One minute I am on a white horse
The next minute on a black horse with red eyes
While the clowns of time watch me
Laughing at all of my strengths and weaknesses
That I left wide open for their very own amusement

Oh, And we had our fights
But you always knew how to get me back
Showing me the harsh realities of life
Getting me to feel high, low, beautiful, ugly
Freeing me of any personal oppression
So you could lure me back in
Ah, Such a game you loved to play

Death, I see through you
No longer am I your whore
In fact I use you now
For my own amusement
You are nothing but a fictional character
Of the sometimes true stories I tell
And it will always be foretold
Till the day my fate fades away naturally
And not by my own hands

You will have to do the deed yourself

We’ve had a long relationship Death
But now I have moved on
In love with life now
And the beauty it surrounds me with

I know you could come back into this reality
In all of your dismal glory
But as I cast you out slowly
Writing you out
Killing a part of you
With the will of my pen’s magic

I know it will always pave my way
Into the atmosphere of this creativity
Leaving me feeling at peace with myself
Always and forever to beyond

Death, Only come when you are not serious
Because I will never have a serious relationship with you ever again
We are now just distant friends
The kind of friend I will use over and over
Till my mind sets itself free

Life, is my new love
It is the path I choose
For a future of strength, love and compassion
In the nature of my own balanced choosing
Beyond the stars that shine before us
In the grace of my own personal belief

Oh, How I am compatible with life
For it is the oxygen, The passion that makes me breathe
