Kiss of death
i was a desperate fool
a fool with a dream,
a dream that made me alive.
a dream for love
fondness
tenderness
the ecstasy and the delirium,
the passion and delusion.
a flight of love as an eagle above the earth
a fight that made my body hurt
a fight of mind and heart.
my mind had told me it was too good to be true
my heart did not believe me
but the mind is wiser than the heart
it seeks the truth, not the euphoric lie.
and here it was
the Love that made my heart hurt
the Love that made me deranged
the Love where i left a part of me
a part so dear, no one allowed to ever see
a part of hope and dreams
a part of happiness
of bliss
a part of innocence
and morals
of decency and honor
the part of me that was destroyed
by the hands of Love that i cherished
the hands i kissed
so tender and sweet
yet so cold and ruthless
the hand that slaughtered my heart
my soul
the hands of death
the hands of demise
the hands that killed my hopes and dreams
a bullet through my chest
i did not think i would survive
a wound so deep it made me scream
the scream of agony, despair
a scream of terror, shock, and horror
a scream so loud
it broke my throat and lungs
yet i can still hear your voice,
feel your touch,
your Kiss
a Kiss so deadly
So lethal
fatal
a Kiss of death
the Kiss that killed a part of me.

I was terribly heartbroken and in love when I wrote this poem. The written words of this piece emerged as a refuge, a sanctuary where I could tenderly unveil the rawness of my emotions without causing myself further distress. In a way, poetry helped me let go of this heartbreak.
