Destiny's Blade

It speaks for itself I think.

                  

    

I have thrown myself on destiny's blade,

And dragged you from the battlefield your ransom paid,

I would face the pack and grant no quarter,

Sacrifice myself like a lamb to the slaughter.

 

But as soon as you were free,

Into her arms you would flee,

And bid me understand, your eyes so kind,

Unaware of all the ways you should be mine.

 

And I love you more than my heart can contain,

For you to be happy I shall endure this pain,

And when you need another valiant rescue,

I will be the first one there fighting for you.

 

If the only place I can look at you is from the shadows,

Lest I come into the light and my feelings show,

Then I choose this path though fool I be,

Against these chains that bind me to you I shall never struggle to be free.

Unrequited love is a terrible thing. This poem has a lovely flow to it.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Britt :)

[Lyn Anderson]

A difficult task this love thing. Beautifully expressed in all its wonderfully awful angst. One thing, your destiny's is right in the title, but written as destinies in the first stanza

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you cat.I will fix .I must tell you that you are very appreciated for that annoying thing that you do lol

[Lyn Anderson]

Good. Cause I can't help myself.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank god for that :)

[Woody]

You have such a big heart. I don't think I can ever be so magnanimous with someone who ditched me.
a beautiful piece, nonetheless. amazing how easily you can slip into someone elses's shoes.

[Vidya Bacchus]

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Humans are such fools sometimes, going for those who are bad for us and not seeing the one that could complete us right before our eyes. Fools I tell you, we are fools.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Yes I agree fools all of us.Searching for the happy ever after when it is right in front of our faces ,Thank you Cowboy.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

[Cory Barrett]

Love others more than they know is a thankless endeavor. In the end one can hope is for a broken fulfillment. good write.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Wow. This is romantic and powerful. I would not mind at all that a woman who loved me this much would save my life. I think if I ever met her I would love her for all eternity.

[Vidya Bacchus]

[ron]

You are most welcome Vidya. :)

[Tan-90]

Nothing is more painful than unrequited love and you have captured the essence of it so well.

I love the stanza
"But as soon as you were free,
Into her arms you would flee,
And bid me understand, your eyes so kind,
Unaware of all the ways you should be mine." resonates with so many past experiences, unfortunately..

Truly beautiful piece. well done. :)

[Vidya Bacchus]
