Abandoned by My Lover

Abandoned by My Lover

A Poem by Egao-onna
"

A girl who thought she had found True Love, found True Love's second thoughts.

"
Our joyful accord had been set 
The harmonious chimes promising new life
Rang loudly in the chapel 
To come 

I, giddy with excitement
Dance about in my dress of pure while 
You with your black attire
The Angel and the Fallen 

We are escorted by our comrades
To the penultimate moment 
Of the start of our lives
The closed doors waiting 
To open upon our joining 

I glace up to marvel
At you're Kindness and Love
That you have shown me all of these years 
A breeze blows my veil
The door is open 

What is that I see 
In your eyes? 
A hesitant glance to the door 

She waltzes by
She who I can never be 
Your eyes sparkle 
And you smile like you smile at me 
A breeze blows my veil, flower petals fall 
The door is open 

She runs and embraces you tightly 
And you grin even more
I turn away
So you cannot see my tears
A breeze blows my veil, it flutters in the wind
The door is open 

You beg to speak with her
"Just a final word"
You plead 
A breeze blows my veil, red roses on white satin
The door is open 

I consent
Because I know that it will make you happy
But you can see
The dissent in my eyes
And you waver 

Brushing me aside
You ask again
I swallow my sorrow
In my snowflake silk gown 

As you walk down the aisle
To pursue the one you left 
And I turn and face the Chapel, the World
Alone 

Sobbing quietly 
I turn slowly to right the wrong 
That you have made 

I have no weapon
I glance down at my hand, and begin to smile inanely 
She clutches you, frightened 
You stare back, aware of what you have caused 

I step down the aisle
And drive my fingers into her eyes
Rip her piece by piece 
Excommunicating the refuse 
A breeze blows my veil, my crimson gown drips
The door is open
