Love's Dark Hell

How cruel that fate dictates with whom we fall in love. That time quells no amount of pain and withstands the ages when evolution places a mask on my mind's wistful embrace and a kiss not indulged for fear of reprisal.  That strength is weakened by tears as endless as the ocean is vast.  Why does life offer no respite from a passion whose beauty was boundless yet lost?  I'll go forth silently dark of center and black and brooding while my hurt and ceaseless pain endure. How so must I find that God's existence in question, for I'll never give myself to you. I, with my bounty claim nothing and prostrate to fear and the eyes of judgment as I wander into what appears to be eternity with head hung low.  For, never shall we two be, and if death is no comfort, then she wraps her cloak around me, and enveloped in misery, I wait.  A dungeon of snakes encircle the edge of my form as they nip at my heels and feet forever - hell is here.
