Love entailing to grow
Beneath this candle scented
Grave dancing with the wind,
Revealing shades of the past
Meant to make this last.

An apparition startled my breath,
As I gasp for acceptance,
That touch should be forgotten!
When will this end?

She is dead!


Love. This is getting harder…
The wounds impale my heart,
As I lost a part
Of my sanity,
Slowly dwindling from the start,
Till death do us part.

As I dwell in this room,
Where love once loomed,
Visions of her became apparent,
She’s still here.

Guarding. Making Love.
In these translucent sheets
Where hints of necrophilia
Bequeath the pillows of despair,
Crying,

This could never be…

When I was the one who left her
Dying beneath the shadows of despair
Where she laid and rested,
That should’ve been for eternity

Denying. Accepting.
This dreaded reality,
Forsaking love’s fatality

As I lie in my bed, staring
Into the dark corners of
This room, where scents of roses
Roam the air, upon time
I saw a vision of love,
I saw her…

Gasping, wailing…
Pounding my chest,
Releasing my pain,
It was her…

Till death do us part.
Keep your blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today’s the day we drop down.
Give up my body in bed.
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals.

- The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows by Brand New

Will feelings of the heart, linger? Till death do us part.

The full title of the poem is Love’s Undying Caress…Death, Do Us Part. Inspired by the song The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows by Brand New because I think it fits well with what I've experienced in my past relationship.

Part II of “Love. Death. Resurrection.”

Part III - [link]

I'm going to enter this poem in *TheWritersMeow "Inspired by a song" contest.

P.S. There’s a twist in the poem’s story. Who do you think is really dead? If any of you guys saw the music video of "The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows" then you'll probably know.
