And You Are Gone Forever Poem by Gabriel SimpsonLaw

And You Are Gone Forever

Rating: 5.0


Foresworn am I to ever view your love once swift declared to me
For false - it was and so shall be my abjuration now of thee
In consequence of what prevailed (and all that’s left of no avail)
My love for you will surely pale - all value and advantage fail
And you are gone forever

Indignant have I since become whilst sipping at some bitter wine
Cold introspection has revealed a cancerous killing heart malign
For surely it is simply seen that what remains is weak and mean
When side by side compared obscene for all is lost I thought between
And you are gone forever

In deepest contemplation shall I now examine all that was
The vestige relics of the past will haunt me all my days because
No future light can I descry, all joy and comfort I deny
And likely without hope will I ensure this is our last goodbye
And you are gone forever

Another lovely one =] A little hyperbolic in places, but the message comes across clear, strong and heartbreaking and the rhyming scheme reminded me of The Lady Of Shallot (which is a truly beautiful poem, so that's good!)

A fine poem that flows from beginning to 'end'.
