Mine
To which agony bestills the once beating heart,
I let go of another door opening to my soul.
I'll try to forget your words as you went to depart
But the tears I cry are unquenchable by any lull
I needed you to understand I have things I have to sort out,
because I'm not perfect all the time, I can't always do right
because apparently you've percieved I've forgotten what loves about
and you've drowned into darkness the love I once called light
It hurts more every moment I breathe, I can't survive alone
But then again I always have before
I pushed away the things I had to do, Life itself for you I postpone
but you've sunk a hook into the darkness of my core
Ripping me apart you laugh as you drive down that mile
And I cry here, holding myself because your warmth is gone
you were once the only reason I breathed, the only reason I smile
But now you're the reason I suffer, the reason I feel wrong
So be rightous and let me go for your own refinement
So you could use my unhappiness for your excuse to run away
But agony hath reigned it's hell for where I once thought was heaven sent
And you whip me with the own strings of my naive heart
You made me unhappy, but still yet I stayed
Not yours but always beside you when you needed my help
Of all prices, I've become the one to have done most and been paid
For the pain that I've lived with, the one you've left for trelp
Cry to you I won't do anymore because you make me want to cry
And if you want me to tell you the truth
Again for you, I feel like in my heart I still want to die
but you make the earth closer to my touch because i'm already gone.

ANNABEL LEE
by Edgar Allan Poe
(1849)
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;--
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
She was a child and I was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
I and my Annabel Lee--
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud by night
Chilling my Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me:--
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling
And killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we--
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in Heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:--
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea--
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
-- THE END --
one of many favs by him...
