Once I Was That Poet

Once....

I preached about love

Defining the beauty

Within my words

I sewed passion

With the thread of affection

Embroidery of romance

Knitted from the heart

That was once

Filled with desire

Now.....

I praise about sorrow

Expressing the chaos inside

Cruel words

With sharp edges

Tearing my sanity

Into pieces

Hatred grows stronger

As the blade of the rhythm

Slashing the peace within

I become the sword of darkness

Made from the steel of betrayal

You see......

I was killed

By love

And you buried

My trust

In the crypt of blackness

I was once

The preacher of light

But now

I'm ya dark writer

Spilling emotion

From my broken soul
