One Hell of a Swann Song

On this bloody morn',

I tell you with scorn,

A dreadful love story,

my tale, no glory.

--

A declaration of exasperation,

An illustration of dedication,

A mutilation of motivation.

A regulation of complication,

A realization of fascination,

An inspiration of aggravation,

A demonstration of intoxication.

--

Born with a name,

to which I held due,

a perpetual honor,

a strange point of view.

--

I was lost in self-pity,

Concern for mine own,

although I had many,

I was still all alone.

--

A tender heart broke though

my reinforced walls,

a pitiful blacksmith,

although he appalled.

--

My father was wary,

I was sworn to another,

the man was oppressive,

severe like none other.

--

'Till once it was tightened,

my corset, confined,

My promised was careful,

he so tried to be kind.

--

I lost all composure;

plunged into the brine,

And when I came to,

A being divine.

--

He handled me softly,

a treasure; a dream,

his eyes were like fire,

a passionate gleam.

--

Deftly, he touched me,

Subtly, he sighed.

But with one look about me,

My lust was denied.

--

A pirate, a scoundrel,

a man bled of good,

destined for death,

Therefore trembling I stood.

--

He fled like a comet,

Beguiling and sly,

but still, there, I trembled,

my heart petrified.

--

Returning in silence,

A home without thought,

Would I see him again?

Perhaps sooner than thought.

--

Hope you all enjoyed Part I. I'm well into Part II, so expect it soon. Please Review, it means the world to me and keeps me motivated!
