Because of You
by Fiona Hernandez
Inspired by "Ophelia" (1851) by John Everett Millais
It was inevitable,
my eternal suffering.
As long as my heart longed for you
I could not be free
cursed by my fate
obscure sorrows conume me until I
am swallowed whole.
My soul depletes me,
obscure sorrows consume me until sink into darkness
Alone
Fixated on my trouble breath
that breathes for you and searches for only you
let me go
wilting away, sweet silent daffodils drift in the roar of the swollen tide
I fall behind, in an inescapable drift
carelessly searching for you
Who will answer my call as I lie barely afloat
my soft glistening lips pursue a departing phantom
as I capsize into this sea sorrows
my soul depletes me as I endure a constant displacement from you
I fail to deny my obsession, and you forever linger
my world end in your fire
but my heart continues to struggle for you
cold grips my flesh bounding me to an internal brawl in which I continuously suffer
Its an unfortunate fate I have
harmonized with madness
with implacable sweetness,
pain consumes me
and holds me
till the last breath,
my body can produce,
endlessly killing me
all because of you.
