'Forsaken' Poem by Marie Joyce B. Negapatan

Just a single throb can kill
with every memory of you
is a delightful sin.
As cunning as a fox
that stabs me from the back,
But pain is an option
to you, I gladly surrender.

To escape this life's prejudice
Am I a coward to face what's real?
Still in limbo,
for what it seems like
Eternity.
Of an emotion that knows
no boundaries.

But as I chase time,
I see you flee
from my very own eyes.
These words I long for you
to hear, turns into tears
that scars my heart
and forever will be.

If only the world can see me now,
how an innocent love
can mean death
to a vulnerable heart.
To feel stone cold
from a burning passion,
To see heaven turn into venom.

As your silhouette passes by
my unwanted shadow.
Our memories remain stubborn,
Fighting what's right from wrong.
Because for you, I'm nothing more
than an unsung song,
A casualty of a heart so cruel

Of a world ruled by sentimental fools.
