Changes And The Debts Paid
A poem about love and memories in a dark time.

Hardly would I ever have believed
To see what started in such a paradise
Never thinking it could happen left me relieved
A broken young heart can still be healed
Never dreaming it would heal to be crushed
Discarded like a fruit just pealed
The touch of your hand in mine, all it ever took
You filled the empty hole in me
On the worst day, to feel the sun's light from you giving a look
What beauty you brought to such ugly pictures in the mind
A tortured soul which never believed
Shocked it was to find someone so loving and kind
Lost in the deepest well of your inviting eyes
Remembering what was didn't have to be
Your presence turned my soul into one reaching the skies
The sweetest of embrace made this retch feel like a king
Forever shall I remember
Still looking for that spot which once held a ring
Changed into something rancid and vile before all who could see
Tortured and torched the world as you were leaving it behind
A whirlwind of pain and suffering left by thee
To survive such a fate with so many questions left in your wake
Never falling out of the trap that was you
Such feelings of freedom from that pain always fake
What did you do
Why did you choose me
The knife left a scar, and a receipt still do
Trust when they say, it all comes around
Never forget what evils you have done
When it lands on your head, I won't be found
Done with the demons and all the vapid nights
Escaped, finally I have
Returning the evil to you, done beneath the bright lights
Karma comes for us all
Watched you never change a bit
This time, the demon will fall

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

I pray that you write this from the powers of a vivid imagination & not from experience, though I know that experience to be far too common amongst all the creatures of both heaven & hell.
Congratulations on Top Story! Your poem definitely captures the ups and downs of a relationship.
