The love made of coal. By Jacob Lundy

"More than coal in my stocking placed by the
Saint Nickolas, I despise you, my beauty ... "

When I tried to love you

I failed to notice,

when you failed to love me.

I tried to find someone perfect

and instead I found a pretender,

content with living a lie, and

mocking me behind my back.

I tried to make us perfect,

with gifts and money, and

plenty of hard work.

I guess in that part,

You did your share,

weaving a web of deception,

wearing my mother's scarlet dress, and

watering the room.

I still wonder if there was,

even a returned vestige of love,

but no, I now know, it was only

lust and greed, shared within

By a sense power.

It is funny how your,

Love was made up of coal,

In near two different ways;

Where you sought my heart for my coal,

And coal was yet the only thing in your heart.

Oh my beauty, my love,

Why couldn't you love me?
