The Tragedy of the Lover

I wrote this many months ago in December of 2008, thought it would be nice to share


The Tragedy of the Lover

My eyes they interlock
Sweet and sweet meoldies I hear
And grasping hold of that, that of which I want
But I know the truth and I am sad
I know the Truth but yet I want it so bad
Those lips that I've nevered kiss
Oh how right it would be
But how misfortunate it will end

I love her with a passionate heart
I in desparate hunger, heart hungry for that love
See I can be your Prince Charming
I have already rescued you from many fires
I have challenged the dragons
And still I seek to kill them

But you do not see
You do not hear
You have not understood
What is burried in my heart
When I say I want you.

I may be perfect for you
But I wonder if thats still going to make it true
Will my firey passion be too hot and burn you
Or will the pain of me being struck be too cold
To leave you standing as a brick of ice
My secretly beloved I have never fully gotten you

We've touched....just slightly
Perhaps the first of my loves
That I have ever touched oh so ever passionately
But I've never felt your touch
I have never felt your heart
I have never read poetry truly intended for me
But yet you speak words that directs all aim to me
The guy your looking for, Its me
But you never meant it to be for me
I am your nothingless, nothing more


Now my hearts on fire as I read your words
It burns in me and my gentleness fades
Because theres a compromise in me
If I should?

But my eyes lashes out
My skin becomes of thick scales and leathery
My mouth breathes out fire ready to consume
My prickly sharp teeth ready to devour
And my heart has not melted
No!! It has become harden thick iced

I am now the enraged dragon greatly in pain
That I will never be your Prince Charming
You will never see me like you see him
See you have chosen the wrong person to be your Prince
Hes corrupt, hes underserving, hes after something else...his kingdom
Hes never going to take you as his Queen but as a servant
He will never love you as I have
He will never hold you close as I have
I love you but yet your letting me die?

Your corrupt Prince Charming is ready to kill me
With a sword poisioned by his filth
With armor stained from innocent blood
Wearing his helmet covering up his damnation
And with a smirk in his face knowing that hes killing the only person that knows
Who he really is.

But before I die, before our great battle, before he sinks blade into me
Or before I escape in flight not to return again
I just want to speak these last words, my prophesy, my predictions
"By the time you discover your biggest mistake, its going to be too late,
you will look and look but its your unseen treasure will be gone "

We fought, fought we rage, I wanted to stop him but he wanted the glory
I'm the victim but everyone believes I am the suspect
I only wanted to protect her I only want to demostrate more of how much I loved her
But she has eyes for someone else
She will throw me away and has done so before
But I love her and we fight and fight to prove so
She will never realized just how much I cared
And what she wants to keep is someone less loyal then me

As I begin feeling the pressure of defeat
As I feel the poision sinking into my blood
Breaking me, slowing me down
I become tired and weary, my heart does not melt
No Its still cold but now hurt
I loved her

As I fly away weary of knowin I stand no chance
I realize shes not worth it, shes too blind
And so I fly to somewhere looking for someone to see me
As thier Prince Charming and not the Dragon


While the Prince glorifies in his victory
I have gained victory in accepting the defeat
But now miles away, flying in the stars
Looking to place myself in a higher position while th earth rots

But there she stands speaking the words..
She had once felt breathless at the corrupt Prince because she thought she loved him
But now shes breathless for another reason
"He'll be mine" she says
But in truth shes breathless because she has discovered the truth
Shes traded her most beloved friend, her great companion
that had stood by and loved her
Who had done all for her just because he cared
Who treated her as a queen while having the heart of a servant
He loved her, she made him into the dragon but still he continued to of loved her
He traded her loving friend for a corrupted Prince

And for the rest of her life she will live with the corrupt prince
The rest of her life she will be full of burdens knowing that shes left her true love go away
Because she was too stupid to realize that her true love was next to her all along
Shes going to live her life full of tears, her man who will never feel love
No matter what she does for him or how much she loves the Prince
He will never love her, and she will soon understand how the dragon felt

Hes gone the dragon is gone, and she can only see him every few nights in the night sky
The dragon is so high up that even the stars have made an image of him
for the world to see....but he no longer loves her
