UnderstandA Poem by Chris CowellWritten quickly due to time restraints.I bit the flesh of your neck and you opened up to me. Revealed
your soul, gave me the key to your everything. How could I not be irresponsible
with all of that power, I bloomed a lotus flower with no reason but to devour. I
am sorry, I am sorry; I didn’t mean to hurt you. Ignorance is bliss, But patience is a
virtue. I acted out, I did, left you alone and I know you will never
forgive. I was young and I was reckless, but I meant it when I said I love you
and gave you that necklace, the bad times outweigh the good except I remember
the times you left me breathless. Captivated by your beauty, the inner beauty,
that no one else could see, only me because I was in there. In there, beside your subconscious I saw your past, your
present, and your future. The past was dim, desolate, and dark but I saw such a
bright future. A place without me, I knew I was the demon and had to set you
free. I didn’t want to go out of selfishness but I knew you were better off,
without me, without this. If only you could understand, I was forced to be a man. So
why would you ever think less of my morals? I swear I didn’t use you; I came to
realize you didn’t deserve a mortal, a goddess like yourself. Cried to me under the sun, I wish I never met
you so the pain could be done. You still haunt me, images in my head can never
be gone you still taunt me. You will always be a piece of mine, But give me peace of mind, Please forgive me. © 2017 Chris CowellAuthor's Note
