You had never meant a thing to the striken heart <br />And all the years past she has been pretending <br /> <br />It's not 'cause she liked to be a hypocrite <br />Never did she want to be cunning <br /> <br />It's not a matter of greediness, selfishness, not a love art <br />Not a propensity to be a queen who in hearts chooses dwelling <br /> <br />Bad news! With no return, your heart she'll depart <br />Don't show her your dreaming eyes now stunning <br /> <br /> <br />Woe! A thunderbolt her confessions to a lonely solace <br />He thought to be in the lady's presence lasting <br /> <br />Hard luck! For the lady had turned to her cottage, left a splendid palace <br />He died to drag an interpretation of her but salient was her tarrying <br /> <br />No teardrops he saw! No blooddrops! No voice came out! Alas! <br />Nothing but a statue she was, he hit, slapped and heard no speaking <br /> <br />He cried her not to forsake his heart in her he put his affiance! <br />Deafness in ears is what only replied! He mourned, screamed and got nothing <br /> <br /> <br />Left in torture! With no answer and no justification he carries <br />She had gone and not justified the crime plus an introduction not convincing <br /> <br />Shall he pray to her to dwell in peace? <br />Shall he forgive her for the dramatic ending? <br /> <br />Shall he crush her beneath his feet? or pray God to ease <br />her sufferings? Would this heal something? would this bring to the broken heart blessings? <br /> <br />Shall he burn the Body and gobble the ashes? shall he her veins squeeze? <br />Or say forgiven by me though her pretensiousness all the time to be loving? <br /> <br />For the shock! He had done nothing, then came the breeze <br /> Proffering the lady a coffin and a breath to the lover to help departing<br /><br />Rania Hammoud<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-coffin-to-the-lady-and-a-breath-to-the-lover/
