Love assumed
This love was an assumed fate
From when our hearts were light
Before the darkness grew deep
And the night grew still
Before all that I could hear was my whispered fear.
In a bed of faith in one another our love did lie.
Though despite much of what you spoke to me were lies
And with a forked tongue you twist this fate.
To where it has become my greatest fear
Where it is eagerly bathed in light
While my heartbeat grows still
As the pain strikes a chord so deep.
Distrust now runs between us deeper
And with all your many lies
I can’t promise that I will forever love you still
Since you have destroyed my very fate
Though in the blackness there is a glimmer of light
As hope for just a moment overshadows my fear.
My sudden anger is given up to hope, and hope alone will deny my fear
With these tangled roots that are buried deep
There is a great penetrating light
Where I know that even after I can forgive your lies
Though they are held captive by your fate
Yet know that I will be hoping still.
A piece of me is unapproachable and unmovable still
By my own sadness, anger, and fear
The three hated parts that give way to my fate
This pain continues ever deeper as this bleeding love lies
Longing for the pain-free light
Away from the light
Though lingering softly ever still
I feel roughly held down by your lies
Yet despite all this hushed fear
Is a hope buried down so deep
That it makes me unsure of both our fates
The power of fate, of penetrating light
Shining deep, and deeper still
Lessoning fear, by showing the lies.

The sestina!
