Midsummer dawned bold and bright when she cast
on me her Solstice Eyes-the longest day of the year-
she was too alluring to resist-but the truth is
I was too tightly intoxicated on her aroma to try,
she was a tidal wave that pulled me under and I a fish
fumbling against the current, and when I was finally
submerged it was then I found you...snapping off
the heads of tulips and leaving their stems to bleed
out their soured milk, I never knew that you would
do the same to me until it was too late, I guess
love between humans is never meant to last, sizzling
out like the last ray of a dying Star, if only
people could love as purely as an animal...
I loved you like Solstice Skies loved everything
hot and humid-but you never loved me-even when I gave
you everything I was until I became so pale that
I no longer recognized my reflection, my shadow
no longer followed behind for the Darkness had
retreated upon me instead, you never loved me
and even I found it hard to love myself,
how can I hold onto a ray of Sun when my hands
were mired in quicksand? I fought to free myself
but your spidersilk held me too fast and fierce
and I always sank back into your sick entangles,
I tried to breathe in the Light-trinkets of
bronzegold peeking from behind my shadow-
but my lungs choked on the dust and dirt that
filled them instead, smothering my dear essence
under your rude deconstruction, everyday I died
a little more...it was more than a solstice
consummation that stole my breath and caused
a blade to kiss my flesh deeper than you ever did,
everyday I died with my insides knotted into a scream...
Midsummer dawned bold and bright when I braved
her fires and met my first illumination,
but it was her Dusk that illuminated me even more,
her blaze incinerated my virtue just as you
deconstructed what I had spent a lifetime
building with such cherished care...
now I need to re-build my vestal home and
find a way to live in peace with the ghosts
that haunt my soul's labyrinth...

This is definitely personal. I can relate with the emotional flux which flows in this poem. The honesty, the feeling - in a way - of betrayal, the hollowing extent of sorrow which fills out in this poem... It's a damn good work in my opinion.
PuzzledHeartBox this is a good poem. Long, but worth the read.
